The ballpark is on fire

And there's a man

In a hospital gown

Directing traffic

some love are habits
you try your best to unlearn —
you try your hardest to break away from them
but they end up breaking you in return.

but I am old enough now
to have my fears comfort me;
and have the things I love
chain me in fear -

i don't remember most of my days;
time flows right past me —
it's like everyone is moving,
and moving on fast;
but grief, my grief
nails me down as they pass;
watching it all slowly;
watching them live their
lives before me –
watching my life
move,
(move!
move!)
without
me

old scars don't hurt as much
because you learned to grow
accustomed to the pain.
but just because it hurts less,
doesn't mean you're not hurting.

when everything inside me disappears
and when i'm emptied dry —
it's when i truly come alive.
tattooed in papers,
held by mortal hands;
i am the ink chased down by death,
immortalised in words and letters,
trying (hoping) to be remembered.
Shi Em Nov 2021
these nights —
they hold
the best
and
worst
parts of me.
