Something
a Poem by Raquel Swann
Something in the air
Hushed secrets
And I’m nowhere.
Far away from the place
A derelict meteorite
Lost in outer space.
My eyes swell with hope
That someone from above
Will lower the rope.
Winds have changed
And the weather is foul.
Do you find me strange?
When will I learn?
The more I give
I get nothing in return.
“You’re so that, you’re so this”
I am nothing
Special to miss.
For when I fall
Against the ground
Don’t worry, it’s nothing at all.
One day I’ll see the sun
Pick myself up
I need no one.
As I walk into the night
You’ll see me smile
I’m not alright.
Don’t even ask
It’s obvious
You’re not up for the task.
I left dozens of clues
Trust me, don’t wish
To walk in my shoes.
