Reality by Ashton

I love to daydream

im a bird and i fly through the skys

never reaching the stars

and i flap my bigs wings and

fly my hopes and dreams away.

Facing reality feels like a chore

but i've vacuumed and i've swept the floor and i clean the dishes

til they started to clean me

and i still, havent found any comfort

in being me.

But i packed the baggage

in a tightly sealed box

and i bury it beneath the dimly lighten tree to dig it up years later

to come and come

and act like those spoiled memories

were some kind of fun to be shared, to be spilled and clean with a dirty sponge

the same sponge used to clean me

and my finger have grown calluses

and my hair has begun to split and ive eaten and ive bitten more than i can chew.

So who am i really?

Stars by Ashton

The stars have been brighter since you left

i realized i was only looking through your eyes and never my own.

Relying on your feelings and never my own

A boy by Ashton

There's a boy

a boy who loves the sea even

if it's like a mystery,

a mystery case.

A boy that loves to chase

chase after the case

he chases

he chases until he cant

he chases more than just “cases”

he chases people.

And hes eaten and bitten more than he can chew

but he tries to chew, but he can't.

He runs

runs to the safe sea

the sea he wanted to chase

notice how the five letter word spoiled into six.

An extra letter because he's given up

the sea he's so hardly been trying to understand

but it's just too hard

he loves the sea but can't seem to understand it

just like how he cant understand himself.

A boy who loves the night

he loves to wander

wander for ages

he loves the very quiet night

so quiet he can hear his breath and the ones around him.

The sound of bird moving slightly

and the sound of the trees leaves falling

so quiet he can hear everything even if its miles away

When it's night out it's like a library.

Peaceful.

A boy that loves to daydream

daydream that he's a bird a bird that can fly high

but never reaching the stars

and i flap my wings

and i fly my hopes and dreams away

Notice how i said “i”

i am the boy

i'm the boy who loves the sea

the boy that loves to chase

the boy who loves the night

and the boy who daydreams

that is me.
