The space between me and myself drifts— like a lucid dream leaking out the back of my skull.
I watch my thoughts float toward stars that don't remember where I end. Where I ever began.
I'm stretched across the cosmos, limbs limp in vacuum, the gravity of depression coiling tight around my ankles— its pull quiet, but absolute.
Reality thins like skin over old scars. My mind—a kaleidoscope of fractures. Each disorder twisting the glass, each diagnosis tinting the view until even my reflection feels pixelated.
This fog... it’s not metaphor. It’s a beast. Thick. Grey. Permanent. It wraps around my face until even breath becomes a rumor.
The lines blur. Days collapse. I forget the taste of clarity. Did I ever have a name? Did I ever live inside this body with certainty?
I am orbiting myself— too far to reach, too familiar to forget.
The silence in here has weight. It hums. It judges. It catalogs my fade in decibels too quiet for anyone else to hear.
Memories fade like echo trails— burnt-out signals from versions of me that never made it back home.
I keep screaming into the night of my own skull— but the signal never reaches Earth. No one hears. Not even me.
I am the void after the story ends. I am the silhouette of a soul that got left behind when the body forgot how to stay.
This isn’t a breakdown. This is drift. This is what happens when gravity gives up on you.
