The thing is, in reality it’s not beautiful to hate yourself.
And sleeping without dreaming is not a way you want to live.
There’s no one coming to save you,
no knight in shining armor,
but that’s not a good enough reason to give up.
And all you’ll be is broken,
and trust me,
it’s not worth it,
This world is not how they romanticize it to be,
but sometimes,
it’s much more than that.

“It was a question I had worn on my lips for days – like a loose thread on my favourite sweater I couldn’t resist pulling – despite knowing it could all unravel around me.
‘Do you love me?’ I ask.
In your hesitation, I found my answer.”
-Lang Leav

Poor worms: flooded out
of their homes to be eaten
by ravenous birds

She has heaven's wisdom,
but she is condemned to earth.

I have become
fluent
in the language
of your
body.

Holding on tightly
to what was
never grasped:
insanity defined.

Alas.
Your eyes upon
me
make me feel
pleasantly
awkward.
