how can i trust in the universe when it does not trust me.

it's funny how we use the word "alien" to describe unearthly beings. for what is more unearthly than statues staring at screens screaming for serotonin, only for sounds of suffering to satiate one's supple hunger of scattering from the space that surrounds their ceaseless thoughts from sprinting away. scapegoating the innocent, sympathizing with the guilty. society seems to be spreading this sickness, turning our sisters and brothers into aliens.

Alien
they looked at each other, unfeeling. as if the cold washed away the remnants of all they had left. their eyes cast shadows darker than the night sky. barely lighter than death itself. just once, they wished the cage would open revealing the daemons and gods alike. a finger brushed against the leather glove, a silent prayer in it's wake. a thin barrier, yes. it was enough. what would the world look like, if the glove needn't had to cover the skin of the fallen?

Does my clarinet blame herself when she screeches? I asked her โ€” careful not to press the wrong buttons. She hummed along, nodded like a good girl. (๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜บ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต?) Iโ€™m the one who blows down her throat, pressing keys until she forgets how to breathe. Her voice cracked โ€” guilt hung in the air like smoke. "๐˜ช ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ," she whispered. "๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ท๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ." I strike her notes harder. She chokes out bits, broken pieces that only make me angrier. Your wheezing is because youโ€™re fragile. Cheap. Not because of me. (...๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต?)

but
The crack in the sidewalk is my only comfort. We've become friends overtime, I tell her about the bottles and beer cans, so lost I forget about the aches and pains. She knows it's bad when I'm quiet. I sit with the dark and listen to my sobs echo, the rain can't drown out my thoughts. The crack in the sidewalk is my only comfort. Sometimes I go weeks without seeing her, my identity drifts softly away with the tide. Confused, I am too weak to find ground, maybe it's best I cannot be saved. The water leads me to my friend, I shiver yet I cannot feel the cold. She tells me that she's here for me, the crack in the sidewalk is my only comfort.
