is your new favorite hobby burning bridges? cause it seems like you have a torch to bear flames lapping all round your ankles setting little fires everywhere step by step through the burnt grass i follow single file in line whatever you do keep your head straight there's no point in looking behind

all of my time
letters from your shadow letting you know what you're missing by your side always watching a fly on the wall stitched to your being an invisible half never fleeting even at night when you're sleeping there it stays ; awake never dreaming look carefully at what the shade knows and let your mind become one and whole

sweet child of mine
these colors, these lights strung on a tree of bare branches twinkling on and on there’s nothing to celebrate and yet they shine away

beauty is an inevitable reality, right? is that even what i want? i care not for muscle i care not for tone, definition i care not for the body which gives form i care not for the thoughts that do me harm i care not for the intentions ill in nature i care not for the hiding that must be done i care not for this animosity towards self i wish for freedom i want for nothing i crave for lacking and its horrible inbetweens
