The mess room

I had to end a friendship with someone recently. And as a way of letting go and saying goodbye, I made my favorite thing we ever did into a poem. I LOVE MESSES.

Welcome to the room

The room where you can be

Flying high above the sky.

Where everyone is free

Welcome to the room

Where you wire your own wires

No traps, no lies , just butterflies

and no hearts required

Welcome to the room

Make sounds, be loud, be proud

Sending waves like forceful earthquakes

rattling the ground

Welcome to the room

Were all broken as can be

Just wasted, battered freaks

Tearing at the seams

Welcome to the room

the one that saved us from ourselves

Our bruised egos still have meaning

At least as far as I can tell

surreal poetry

About the Creator

I'm just a random person who is very odd.
