23/F words are simply a canvas for painting a discovery within
an invisible thread holds the world together, carefully stitched through minds and hearts, weaves a mystical fabric upon which we dance, though patches of existence, we are never apart.

the quilt
Lately my words have felt like bullets that only graze the edge of the target. A feeling of emptiness saturates my mouth as I speak. Lately I feel like the validity of my presence is tied to some word count. Like my existence is an essay that I must write, I just cannot find the right words.

there are some, just a few, experiences i have had where i have felt the touch of love as the universe cradled me for just a moment. a moment that was all i needed, in that moment, to keep faith in myself and in this life.

miracles
Usually i stand right at the edge. Where im still considered within the bounds of connection, But not too far in that i cant easily step right out. Because to go deeper means that i must walk toward the fog And out of sight of the edge. To get vulnerable and to get lost in something that i can’t control. The edge is comfortable. It’s a line on which i can see clearly where i stand Without getting lost in the existence of someone else.

the edge
i’ve always been the third wheel, the pity friend, the background character. i’ve always been another body- just to make the group an even number, another voice- just to make the laughter slightly louder, another wallet- just to make the split cost a little cheaper.

the filler friend
i am grieving and i am grateful. i am scared to jump and i am hopeful i will land. i am comfortable doing life alone with only myself and i dream of spending my life with the one whom i love. every color exists in equivocal harmony within the rainbow of the heart.

ambivalence
size zero jeans flesh colored seams plastic containers labeled Maybelline. if beauty is what’s seen, and so will i be, a prisoner, shackled to the glamour economy.

glamour economy
it’s the elephant in the room, it’s the wound that never bleeds, it’s the joke that always lands but only after she leaves. it’s the exposed nerve ending, it’s the unwarranted broadcast, it’s my insecurity living inside a house made of glass.

naked shame
you say you love me like those words are the paperweight holding us down amid bitter winds

shallow love
humor me with an unknown. and i will find freedom in understanding that a known must emerge.
