would it be alright to purge my being here

is there enough space to take it in

can I borrow a page or two

tell my side of the world

both fantastical

and real

let my mind wonder freely

giving into the idea of letting go

and me is this

and in the deep satisfying silence

i hear the world at its feet

bated breath

eyes pierced

do they come for what I have to say
