falling behind
siri Nov 2024
it ***** me up when i realise,
i am living like that laufey song
where everybody’s falling in love
and all i am doing
is weaving through life my own way
which makes me second-guess
whether my own way is a good way
forwards or backwards
because in this marathon of life,
i can only see their backs,
and the dust they’ve kicked up
whether they meant it or not.
siri Feb 2024
i burst
from cold heat
into jarring light
stinging flesh
noise suddenly
unmuted
headspace thrown
from empty comfort
to harsh reality.

— The End —
