I am an uncomfortable mess of big words and over-thinking and clichés that don't quite fill my appetite. In here I am a swamp with a paradise deep down that can't fight the sludge sludge sludge and I miss you terribly and I miss myself- before you and the knowledge of war and political turmoil and those tumors that **** (not just cancer, but that type of ache that punches your ribs into a pulp). Sometimes I look up to the sun and it should make me feel light and free, but I am so lost here- not like when I was young.
