Obsession. feels like a drug bleeding into my veins close my eyes— lights still flash behind, savour the high. strobe lights headshots body shots line the dark walls, canvas film paper i’m everywhere. everywhere but here.. Addiction. stuck. waiting for the next high. applause like static rings through my skull but I chase it or it chases me I can’t tell anymore Admiration. I smile at them. Cameras flash. They like me like this. I don’t know them, yet they call me pretty. I laugh at jokes I don’t hear while the lyrics loop in my head— “I’m on my way to heaven”

One of them
Obsession. feels like a drug bleeding into my veins close my eyes— lights still flash behind, savour the high. strobe lights headshots body shots line the dark walls, canvas film paper i’m everywhere. everywhere but here.. Addiction. stuck. waiting for the next high. applause like static rings through my skull but I chase it or it chases me I can’t tell anymore Admiration. I smile at them. Cameras flash. They like me like this. I don’t know them, yet they call me pretty. I laugh at jokes I don’t hear while the lyrics loop in my head— “I’m on my way to heaven”
