Reality (Spoken Word)
Reality by Ashton I love to daydream im a bird and i fly through the skys never reaching the stars and i flap my bigs wings and fly my hopes and dreams away. Facing reality feels like a chore but i've vacuumed and i've swept the floor and i clean the dishes til they started to clean me and i still, havent found any comfort in being me. But i packed the baggage in a tightly sealed box and i bury it beneath the dimly lighten tree to dig it up years later to come and come and act like those spoiled memories were some kind of fun to be shared, to be spilled and clean with a dirty sponge the same sponge used to clean me and my finger have grown calluses and my hair has begun to split and ive eaten and ive bitten more than i can chew. So who am i really?
A Boy (Spoken Word)
A boy by Ashton There's a boy a boy who loves the sea even if it's like a mystery, a mystery case. A boy that loves to chase chase after the case he chases he chases until he cant he chases more than just “cases” he chases people. And hes eaten and bitten more than he can chew but he tries to chew, but he can't. He runs runs to the safe sea the sea he wanted to chase notice how the five letter word spoiled into six. An extra letter because he's given up the sea he's so hardly been trying to understand but it's just too hard he loves the sea but can't seem to understand it just like how he cant understand himself. A boy who loves the night he loves to wander wander for ages he loves the very quiet night so quiet he can hear his breath and the ones around him. The sound of bird moving slightly and the sound of the trees leaves falling so quiet he can hear everything even if its miles away When it's night out it's like a library. Peaceful. A boy that loves to daydream daydream that he's a bird a bird that can fly high but never reaching the stars and i flap my wings and i fly my hopes and dreams away Notice how i said “i” i am the boy i'm the boy who loves the sea the boy that loves to chase the boy who loves the night and the boy who daydreams that is me.
