it is a new day, a new hour, a new second, and i have new skin. i'm hoping it's impenetrable, but as i fall down and scratch my knee, i realize it isn't. i'm hoping it's smoother, but as i run my fingers over the rough scab from yesterday's tumble, i realize it isn't. the sun is shining down on my skin, and i see that it's causing me to glow. this has happened before, but it's different now, because it's stretching deeper than my skin. i can feel it within. / the moonlight casts a shadow on my skin. it's unsettling. it makes me feel blue. but i am tired of feeling blue, so i go inside, so that maybe i will feel green or yellow or red. anything but blue, because i always end up drowning in it, yet here i am, talking about it like it will not swallow me when i wake up tomorrow morning. or afternoon. or maybe i won't wake up at all, so that way i am no longer held captive by this blue ruin.

skin / blue ruin
it is a new day, a new hour, a new second, and i have new skin. i'm hoping it's impenetrable, but as i fall down and scratch my knee, i realize it isn't. i'm hoping it's smoother, but as i run my fingers over the rough scab from yesterday's tumble, i realize it isn't. the sun is shining down on my skin, and i see that it's causing me to glow. this has happened before, but it's different now, because it's stretching deeper than my skin. i can feel it within. / the moonlight casts a shadow on my skin. it's unsettling. it makes me feel blue. but i am tired of feeling blue, so i go inside, so that maybe i will feel green or yellow or red. anything but blue, because i always end up drowning in it, yet here i am, talking about it like it will not swallow me when i wake up tomorrow morning. or afternoon. or maybe i won't wake up at all, so that way i am no longer held captive by this blue ruin.
i haven't written in a couple months. these are two different poems with one very thin relation. my mind is blank. this is ****** and blue ruin is a movie reference. i apologize for everything.
