I am the poet to save the world, to romanticize the past, change the present, and dream about the future.
While I start here, the beginning seems visible, bright, near.
Too near for some, but I can taste it, the metallic blood on my tongue.
So I will speak.

... I think I'm going to bed early, and waking up early.

I wish that I could write until my fingers bled, and my heart stopped beating, because it would be more like feeling,
than right now,
where I just stare blankly at myself in the mirror, waiting to be beautiful.
Waiting to matter.
And that's where it goes downhill, because what I don't realize, is that I'm just as awesome as I say, just as awesome as I say I'm pretending to be.
But I wish I could feel.
