ghosts are just spirits in the wrong realm.
i wonder if i am a ghost
somewhere along the road
i got lost,
took a wrong turn
landed in a different plane of existence
maybe i’m light years away from where i should be
maybe this planet is not my own
maybe this life belongs to another
i don’t fit in this body
i want to bubble out of this skin
burst into another dimension
this mind never felt like it was mine
i know there’s something better for me
the human world just doesn’t have much more to offer
i have nearly lived out my purpose
i’m dying to leave
but instead
i’m trapped
in this human world, this human body
my soul screams ‘let me be, free me’
it scratches and claws at my insides
dying to leave this place
trying to untie its bonds
this body that i just cannot live in
no longer
i cannot be a ghost forever

free me.
