Translate me

Imagine investing time trying to read someone,
Reading them like a book in a foreign language-
Taking 3 steps back everytime you translate a word.
Because you have a phrase, a sentence, and then a paragraph to understand.
Imagine after all that effort,
You find out that there is a translated version right at the last few pages.
That effort that well, paid off but unnecessary.
Imagine learning a person this way,
And then finding out the most quintessential part, the corazon-
Is taken.
By another who has long understood them.

Simultaneous

When my brain doesnt work and cant stop at the same time
When a bright mind got dimmed but denied
When my body refuses to function because the brain and heart are both distracted with unnecessary things
When I feel myself going down a spiral but it's not dangerous enough for panic buttons to ring
When I don't know why i'm not sleepy
When I can't understand how i'm not a bit hungry
When I don't want to change it anyways
