Journal, Page 3

i feel like a queen in a king sized bed. the edge of my quilt is the edge of my terrain, and i i believe the world is just too big for me on another note, the sadness is back. it feels like this: -December -overwatered flowers -flash freeze -snowed-over sand -abandoned parks -carpet carpet carpet burn -corset laced tighter than my own ribs -nine years old bedazzling my eyelids even though it hurts -becoming a frost flower and -New Orleans 2005, because that's what waking up from nightmares is like: clammy palms empty lungs hurricane blown but you still wake up utterly alone in a king sized bed that you don't really fill up
