“though you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, i simply am not there” i think fondly of the quote something that made me think i'm inhuman i have never really been there you were never really here how fitting it’s another year of unwanted sadness within every year of aging i feel hollow on the inside don’t perceive me don’t acknowledge me all i am is empty i don’t want to grow old i’m stuck with a fear of myself i won’t die on my own terms i won’t hold eternal beauty what is a birthday? what is even worth celebrating?
