Wiggle Room

plenty of air to breath

By Goldie Published 3 years ago 1 min read

I can’t breath

Drowning in the sea of people I can’t quiet reach

The sky bleeds

Through gashing teeth

Blood that even the sun can’t bleach

I leave and go to a place

Sturdier then the sinking sand under neath my feet

You can find it up stairs

Open the door in my left ear

Peak though the window of my right eye

There lies my wiggle room

Space

Just enough

Space

A galaxy of strange stuff

A angle invites the devil to brunch and they fall in love

Keys on a piano play an essay on the science of luck

I am a astronaut this planet will never be enough

There’s gold in the water they ask me to drink it

There’s gold in the sky they ask me to paint it

But if only they knew of the gold in my mind

An unmeasurable price on an idea a room I designed

I was a child that couldn’t breath I was drowning in a sea

Saved by the tapping of my own feet

Along the elastic floor, stores, people

Many in which you’ll meet

Wiggle room

The exact volume of space that’s enough for me

Wiggle room

Plenty of air to breath

About the Creator

Goldie

Addiction to my pen sweeping cobwebs in my mind

The brief feeling of structure when my thoughts start to rhyme
