koi fish falling from the sky.

koi fish are falling from the sky in my unadulterated daydreams.

your eyes and arms often hold me, as if you could hold the world.

mom always said you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders

and sometimes forget to rest.

to only carry the gene

of self-sacrifice and humanity...

i have forged myself in the lives of others

while missing the biggest part of mine.

60’s classics play on repeat

and sometimes i wish the beatles

would just swallow me whole.

i wish i could drive with you

with the windows down,

the backroad...

sometimes i wish

i lived far away from here,

only with memories

of what it use to be.
