I feel different today
Like the maggots beneath my skin have shed their shells and flown
Like my heart is finally beating
Like my mind isn't resting on the hallowed grounds of old graveyards
I feel like I'm finally alive today.
The cotton candy of the morning skies fills my stomach with warmth, a fluttering joy
I watch every bird pass like a message in a bottle, spilling letters into the air
My hair springs like woven silk
I smile, and suddenly the temperature around me is 80 degrees
