Gender Fluid/Canada Theres some kind of burning inside me, compelling me to write.
The skin I flaunt doesn't feel like my own. I'm a helpless gecko. Failing to shed my moulting, I am left to rot within a shell of myself. This accumulation of my past, is unbearably blinding.

Dysecdysis
Paranoia follows me like a shadow, shrouding the lights of grace in it's woe. I want to feel loved, I want to believe that I am adored, But I am trapped in an ashen grotto.

Plagued
I admire the foliage in the spring, then walk along moist shorelines. I walk atop the leaves of the fall, then trace frosted trails in winter. But this cycle, everything will change. This year, it will be better. Instead of admiring nature's bounties, I will cultivate something new. This year I will move past the shore, and delve deeper into the waters. In place of withered leaves, I will step over my struggles. Rather than peppering footsteps in the snow, I will permanently imprint on the world.
