Weightless by Alexa Wildish


I’m all hummingbird inside
My chest trembles constantly
It’s always buzzing in my veins
Telling me I’m not ok
I’ve run empty trying to catch this thing

My laughter fills up all the space
Around someone I want to know me
Words are crowding in my mouth
Choking as I spit them out
God, I’m reeling it’s unbearable

I’d carry an anvil in my hands
So I could feel the heft of where I stand
I’d crush myself
Under the comfort of control
I’d rather be flattened than feel weightless and alone

Finish all my sentences,
before I think of what to say
Please make me shut up
I know I’m too much
So fast I’m almost invisible

I’d carry an anvil in my hands
So I could feel the heft of where I stand
I’d crush myself
Under the comfort of control
I’d rather be flattened than feel weightless

I’m fine
I’m fine

I’m all hummingbird inside
Life vibrating endlessly
What If I could let this fly?
Would I circle the whole sky?
