Can it please feel less?
\nThat feeling in my chest.
\nI know the world isn’t real,
\nBut still I have to feel.
\nQuieting that overburdened melody,
\nIn my heart box.<\/p>\n
Can I please cut it out in exchange,
\nFor a bigger and more sensible brain?
\nAnything less quick to ache and pain,
\nLike something from a machine!
\nThat’ll just beat, and beat, and beat, and beat…
\nAll punctually punctilious,
\nAnd wholly inconspicuous.
\nQuiet you! Over-pronounced melody,
\nConsidering my heart box.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I can, please…
\nContrive a means to make it cold?
\nI’d buy it as medicine for my soul,
\nAnd act my own age, stern and quite old.
\nOr perhaps I can hide it in the shoebox beneath my bed,
\nSo I can feel seriously dead,
\nIn a world that’s curiously feelingless.
\nAnd when I’m alone I’d let it out.
\nTo cherish that sweet melody,
\nOf my heart box.<\/p>\n
But still I choose to feel and see,
\nBecause if I wouldn’t feel I wouldn’t dream,
\nAnd without dreams I wouldn’t be…
\nAnd I like naive fantasies,
\nHoping one day I can make them real.
\nAs I consider the thing that sings,
\nAdmiring it’s beats and melody,
\nIn my heart box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
