18/F/London If I could make the world as pure/
And strange as what I see/
I'd put you in the mirror /
I put in front of me/

objects in the distance may be closer than they appear
how many thousands of times these words mirrored blankly upon my eyes
only today did I-read them accurate
from the nowhere from a great void someone stepped and lifted me from a rubbled prone where there were no options asking for nothing over and over I beseeching
now I see in the mirror those words
I see only them in the heart human the object so close it writ upon my face proudly
just in case you’re in a dark place and can’t seem to find a light switch or matches even I want you to know you are loved maybe not by yourself yet but you are even though it sounds like a fairytale for now at some point you’ll find the light switch or the matches and you’ll be able to see that the fairytale came true and you’re the one that made it happen
