21/Gender Fluid “And looking up, I see only the stars, and the void, all a little closer than they were before. All still so unreachably distant.”
i have been moving forward for years, never stopping everything has overwhelmed me and eaten away at my being but i still moved on i've hid from my deepest thoughts, buried them deep inside kept moving without looking back but standing here today i see everything that i skipped over, everything that has festered and crept up behind me so close that it invades my thoughts taken over, there's no turning back

too far
how scared you must be to be exposed to the elements with all your windows broken in and all alone

broken windows
an itch in your shoulders that you cannot scratch you try to ignore it but it demands to be heard

Unclean
The air pierces my skin My breath fogs up in front of me as I walk alongside you, in this hidden pathway I look at you you are so beautiful There is warmth in my cheeks but it is still cold

Still Cold/ Pathway Private
Like the hands I allowed my cat to scratch and my unvacuumed floor and unwashed bed sheets, And the ability to go outside and improve myself I took you for granted.

Disregarded
Drowning in my own head What do I do? Losing control losing control I fear I've lost myself No control no control

Any Emotion
My head is buzzing. I can't control it. I need to settle down, Let sleep come and drag me lower, Allowing me to rest. But my bed is hard and unaccepting of my attempts to sleep, So I lie awake. All I want is to escape into a state of unconsciousness, so I don't have to feel.

I look at my skin in the fogged up mirror and I don’t see any redness no dots no blemishes and I think, “why can’t it be like this all the time?”

/like this/
I approached the door, as something caught my eye A glimpse of a person, a wishful hi Something inside me was filled with terror and glee, but I soon realized, the reflection, it was only me.
