incoherence

it's a fascinating thing,
how we were made.
how things like emotions can be easily translated
through expressions, tones of voice, or behavior.
but the mind, a vault of thoughts,
is a portal that requires a key
and there's only one key 
intrinsically embedded in every individual
not meant to be shared
because God knew
ideas were meant to be contained.

sometimes i feel like i purposely forget people
to forget how they made me feel
to forget what they made me think
to forget when they forgot me first

-- 

every now and then i see someone special
someone i want to get to know
because they look like they have a good back story
it isn't that there's something particularly special about them
in fact, it's those with nothing special at all
that i like most
in general, i'm just fascinated by beings

-- 

sometimes i think things and i wonder
if anyone's ever thought of it before
"purple cows like to eat mangos"
am i one of a kind now?
did i make something special?
i think i'm crazy
i wonder if anyone's ever thought that before.

when you eat something you love,
and you eat it a lot,
you get sick of it..
so you stop eating it.
and then after a long while,
after you've banned it from your palette,
you see it somewhere and you think
hey, i'm gonna try it again
i remember liking this
so you try it
but it doesn't taste the same anymore
and you wonder
what about it
you liked so much in the first place
then you question
whether or not you've ever liked it at all

sixth is an awkward word to pronounce
six-thhhh
six-ed
si-kss
words are weird
i wonder how many words
are mispronounced
or misused
or have deviated from originally intended meanings
letters
syntax
pronunciation
