Soft biscuits, crunchy teeth; crunch time: mid-twenties, late twenties, thirty knocking without knocking, every age an ill-fitting jacket. Do we _stumble or stutter,_ __belt it or buckle?__ I’m exhausted from outrunning myself through the ash of volatile passions, burning my tongue on honesty, spilling my heart like it won’t blister. With all these pestering thoughts, will the words escape me or sit heavy in my mouth? Every shallow sentence hides a depth. Every page of life you've read, is riddled with misspelt moments —missing the __S,__ of the quiet **** you survive, but never speak aloud. Life is a biscuit you pray comes with a creamy centre, yet the middle lives between a lot of hardship & time. _Crunch, crunch, crunch_ — how much can you really swallow before it lodges in your throat, choking you into either despair or happy tears?
