Untitled

by @lindee

Some days will be bad. You will want to rip apart your ligaments You will want to rupture your lungs You'll no longer want to hear the bird sing. You'll douse yourself in gasoline and strike a match at arms length. but as the clock wrings it's hands, the nights of lonliness will morph into comforting evenings by a fire the ligaments you wanted to rip will grow stronger, the gasoline will become inflammable. The wisps of horsetail clouds will spin across your horizon and you will be okay. The instances or decades of pain you feel will fade into the wallpaper of the new ER you build yourself, a sanctuary, a haven. All of it will dissolve, a pill in water, bursting and then dispersing, scattering to the edges of your memories. It will get better.
