Let me off.
There's belonging and not...
In his world...

What fits outgrew me
long before I had the chance
To find my own.

It's spinning round...
This feeling.
Dizzy heights
and rock bottom.

For the slide of hand and slick,
For the water off your back...
We're immiscible.

And I'm tired, too tired
To do this anymore.
This ride scares me so
When my thoughts are incoherent
And neither of us understand
The girl I am,
Nor can we find,
on this Godforsaken earth,
The one I strive to be.

So cruelty's grasp,
Let go of me,
Let me slip off the face,
Disappear into a wide open space
And be forgotten.

There's difference and indifferent...
I didn't make and I am
So let me off...
In his world,
one day,
He'll understand.

Halt the World

Halt the world.
Let me off.
There's belonging and not...
In his world...

What fits outgrew me
long before I had the chance
To find my own.

It's spinning round...
This feeling.
Dizzy heights
and rock bottom.

For the slide of hand and slick,
For the water off your back...
We're immiscible.

And I'm tired, too tired
To do this anymore.
This ride scares me so
When my thoughts are incoherent
And neither of us understand
The girl I am,
Nor can we find,
on this Godforsaken earth,
The one I strive to be.

So cruelty's grasp,
Let go of me,
Let me slip off the face,
Disappear into a wide open space
And be forgotten.

There's difference and indifferent...
I didn't make and I am
So let me off...
In his world,
one day,
He'll understand.

Interesting and imposing in its imagery, you conveyed many things to me about your state of mind during this write. I enjoyed this poem very much.
Thanks for sharing it.
