Magmetic Thinking

by Nicole M. - Gemini

This river of blue magma
Flowing right below my skin-
If I try to tap into it
It'll just disappear
Like that vein in my right arm
Whenever I know
They're gonna take blood...
What do they call it again?
A disappearing vein...
But maybe they were just making that up..
I'm too naive...just like when my uncle told me
That hole in the rock was from a rock-eating-worm...
I believed in too much...
Like I was really special..
Really special...on the verge of magical,
Like when I would throw the gravel in the air,
And I believed I could make it just hover there
Because there was something special about me..
I prayed to God just once...no one would ever have to know..
God...we haven't talked in awhile..
I think my latest actions have detached me
Taken my rights away..or maybe I don't want to get my hopes up again...
Hope..atleast I still smile when I say it...
I have some of it left...
There are a few streams of it left
Some of that purple magma
In that blue river
Just underneath my skin.

Reason for writing:

    Scarey thing is...this is really how I think...lol
