Boredom (shape into me)

where does your unoccupied mind go?

What do you do when there’s nothing to occupy your time?

Do you shake your feet on your bed?

Do you slip into a bad habit?

Where do your thoughts land when the world doesn’t need you?

... When you feel alone.

.

Wish you knew how much of my mind belonged to you.

I think about ways to make any feeling you don't want, disappear.

You know I’d fill your bedroom with whatever you wanted

Manically placing said items - I'd be dissatisfied with with my work though, because I don't think anything is good enough for you.

My heart demands perfection for you.

.

But the feeling you don’t want is what I have for you.

I wonder, do any unoccupied minds shape into me?

If you want to "know me", know me - I'd want you to know I love magical realism, wisdom literature, songwriting, words that make you go "ooH?", sharing stories, anime & seeing people heal
