i sneezed and my eyes watered and it felt good because it was the closest i could get to crying despite the demons hiding and flying and the dark clouds colliding thunderstorms with no chance of precipitation i want to cry but can’t for the life of me the faster i run the thinner the air becomes it’s so hard to breathe and everyday i feel less like myself, a shell and everything i hate is the pearl inside being pressed and designed with hopes that one day it’ll be worth something i’m jealous of the night sky because even in its darkness, even behind its clouds there’s still stars that shine
