Ficlets

can we just like, settle down, now?

i think i’ll settle down
and try to calm down
i’ll try to take comfort in the empty feeling
that resides in my stomache
and the dissapointment that lingers inside my head.
i think i’ll settle down
and try to call this home
the four walls that appear in plaster
but are covered with soft-spoken secrets;
they decorate the wall, coloring it the color of violent words.
i think i’ll settle down
and try to live my life
instead of hiding inside this shell that i’ve constucted.
i think i’ll settle down,
listen to the lure of your voice,
cause everything else sounds like a lie.
And I really belive that if i could just
settle down
everything would
be okay.
