far from asleep, anxiously waiting for the sun to peel away the husk of the moon so i know that i survived another long lonely night. nowhere feels like home anymore. i'm stuck in the shadows of my own thoughts, i am being consumed by the darkness. the authenticity of my escape begins to wear thin and is beginning to seal shut,
I RUN FOR IT, BUT I'M NOT FAST ENOUGH.
hands covered in white paint, a paint brush is in my hand.
instead of leaving to be set free from these shadows that haunt me, i stayed to create something i could have had.
