The Stay
Today was a good day, but I can't help but feel more and more disconnected from everything. Even when I use these eyes, I feel like an invader looking upon another's life. Surely, I can't be the one at the helm of this meat machine. Whenever there is a new emotion, I am the thing that licks at the flavor of it, only sampling how the cuisine must taste to you. You taste the full flavor of the emotion. It's so hard to be here; I'm in a different layer altogether.
I do not crave control.
What happened to you, little girl? What happened to you to let a parasite control you? Where is it that you hide now while I make the world believe you are still inside? How long will I be trapped in this life I never meant to have? When will you rescue me from yourself?
The rescuer. The rescuee.
Let me out of this mind. I meant only to observe. I never meant to intrude. I never meant to stay.
