regression

roaring beast. steam obsolete. i wish my hands. to see them fall apart. crackling dry. the crust in my eyes. moon oh please, let me be free, from this ******* heat 80 degrees. i thought i had grown, but it’s just the moss on the stone. my heart no longer beats with the rain. i just stay inside all day.

 

i look

her

in

the eyes

i see

no

reflection

i miss

the girl

i

used

to be

 

and if this is adult life

it would’ve been better to die

at seventeen
