insomnia is my best friend, it's molded into my bones because the world never sleeps and the bats know me by name. i ripped the lights out of the sky with the sharp teeth i bear to collect the stars to stick onto my bedroom ceiling. the sky is a black hole, almost like a tornado or mouth ready to throw me off my feet, and i'm faint i can't tell the difference between sympathy, empathy, and apathy anymore only because i was never good at recognizing faces covered in masquerade masks. my nightmares aren't about dinosaurs and aliens anymore, because fantasy is what i've become accustomed to. reality terrifies me, we are living in our past, our present, and our future, and my social anxiety is getting bad again to the point where i lost track of time at night overthinking too much over simple things
