I am chaos. I've ceased to be adjectival; I no longer embrace, but am, chaos. My heart has been broken and glued back together in ways all the pieces were never meant to fit. I am one million miles per hour over the speed limit, on a dead-end road, with no intention of stopping. I'd rather not sleep, not eat, not laugh. I'd rather get ready for the day with swollen eyes and a worn-out mind. I just want my lungs to explode. I just want for my eyes to slam shut. To be still.

I Am Chaos
I am chaos. I've ceased to be adjectival; I no longer embrace, but am, chaos. My heart has been broken and glued back together in ways all the pieces were never meant to fit. I am one million miles per hour over the speed limit, on a dead-end road, with no intention of stopping. I'd rather not sleep, not eat, not laugh. I'd rather get ready for the day with swollen eyes and a worn-out mind. I just want my lungs to explode. I just want for my eyes to slam shut. To be still.
