i'd turn my lonliness into a bird and watch it fly away
I'd turn my guilt into some fire and pour water on it.

Perfectly said. As soon as I read that, I realised it's what I would have never been able to properly express today. Thanks.red umbrellas wrote:i'm going to turn my self disgust into a bonfire. and set it alight.
and if the ashes touch me, i know the thoughts might come back. but it's only ash, so i can blow it away.
my fear is just a lift that is easy to get stuck in sometimes. it's frightening being stuck in a lift, but the power does come back on, the door does open and you are not trapped forever.

bumping this thread cos i like it and cos i want to cope with this feeling better.
i feel lonely. i think my loneliness is like a black hole, empty and consuming everything. i would like it to *magically through a weird distortion of spacetime * be more like a cloudy day. it is sad and grey, but eventually the sun will come out and warm me up. *thinks this is a bit pathetic but will post it anyway*

i would take this incompleteness and turn it into an iron circle which i can sit inside and feel safe and reassured.
i would turn my loneliness into a small locket full of pictures of family and friends that i could take with me everywhere as a reminder that i am loved
i would turn my irrationality into a thunderbolt that would shatter into stars when it hit the ground

And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold

i would turn my loneliness into a crowd of people.
that way, if i walk away from them to be on my own, it least my solitude is voluntary.
