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.

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.
(๐๐ฉ๐บ ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต?)
Iโm 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.
"๐ช ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ต ๐ช๐ฏ,"
she whispered.
"๐ฎ๐บ ๐ท๐ฐ๐ช๐ค๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ."
I strike her notes harder.
She chokes out bits,
broken pieces
that only make me angrier.
Your wheezing is because
youโre fragile.
Cheap.
Not because of me.
(...๐ณ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต?)
"๐ช ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ข๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ง๐ถ๐ญ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ,"
she sobbed.
And I
almost told her โ
๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ.
But the truth
lodged in my throat,
behind the breath
that made her scream.

bitter truths
taste sweeter

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.

Kneel beyond my throne, unaware it was born of lies.
Eyes linger on my every move, whispers shouting.
Am I meant to replicate perfection, or just die trying?
Cold smiles approach, thinking they have uncovered my tell-tale heart.
But I am a seasoned ghost.
Being raised to suffer, I have learned to hide.
To mold myself to fit the standards.
To grit my teeth and stand still as my form shifts once again.
Knowing the brief seconds of waking are a soft euphoria I will soon miss.
I wake to a dawn meant only for the dying.
I wake to reset my own jaw,
bending my bones backwards
with the occasional crack,
a ritual ensuring I resemble something human.
People believe I am powerful, successful, happy,
(but i am as fragile as frost on a window touched by morning).
My costume is convincing, but cannot change what I am.
Invisibly so, and so the pretending continues.

The dead trees whispered to me in my sleep about happy endings.
(I should have known better than to talk to strangers.)
Maybe the bottomless wine glasses were a dream and Iโll wake up.
(she didnโt wake up)
I heard them say, โHis blood turned sour long ago.โ
I smiled back at the shadows, nodding my head โ
yes.
(But I canโt resist the taste of bitter citrus.)
Do you paint stories across the walls of your mind?
(We accept the love we think we deserve.)
Adrenaline and attraction intertwined at last.
(When is a monster no longer a monster?)
Oh, how the moonlight dances upon despair,
(I have learned to waltz with my own shadow.)
We whispered confessions to the night so still,
(Are secrets safe when whispered to darkness?)
Listen to the symphony in the chaos we created...
(When does the hunted become the hunter?)
In a universe full of paradoxes, what do you believe?
(I stare into a broken mirror, unsure which piece is mine.)
At the edge of reality, where does it end?
Burning alive, my white dress turns into black ash,
I smile, and ask if youโre happy.
(The trees whisper back that you are.)
