Channels

A poem made in my stream of consciousness.

By Cat the AutistPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

You ever feel like your brain is a TV that just flips through channels for no reason?

I’m currently flipping through channels.

On one channel, I see myself dancing in a dress as a five-year-old.

Change the channel to me sitting alone in my room.

Oh look! Here’s a channel in which I finally get a boyfriend!

He’s not on the next channel.

Neither are the friends I used to have.

The reception is getting worse as I move forward.

I want to turn it all off, but I know of the consequences.

Do I turn it off, or do I deal with the static for the rest of my life?
