I see your face in cloudy street lamps.

they're dark and gloomy.
just like you.

your cynical smile could light up a room and I'm still confused as to how you did it.
yet I never questioned it back then.

I wish I had.

that smile was the most comforting thing in the world.
and I watched it wither away into sunken cheek bones and rotten teeth.

I watched your lungs wither away to empty ribcages.
and your arms turn into brittle bones.

I watched your shoulders hug your own body.
and your hips turn into handles.

I watched you decay into the nothingness of the world.
and sometimes I feel, that if I questioned that cynical smile.

you'd still be here

Open your box
I’m here to look
Don’t be afraid

Open your mouth
I’m here to consume
I won’t speak

Open your hands
I’m here to touch
Feeling your vibrations

Open your eyes
I’m here to see
I see words unspoken

Open up to me
All you got, release it
I’ll catch the pieces that overflow

Open your heart
I’m here
Finally
Here

I told myself
"I will have a great day"
We tell ourselves things that are so cliche
but makes us feel even more isolate.

Despite the positive affirmations
I felt so unmotivated and everything I did or told myself I will do
made it feel like it was obligated.
If making a den under the bed and covering it
with a mattress can save you in the event of
a nuclear explosion which the general public
were told,
I'm confident that the same holds true
for things
such as Covid-19 and even the dreaded
Spanish flu'
or
we could just build castles in the sand to
keep the politicians out.
The old public service announcements on the television always spoken in black and white.

I look at her
And i cant help but smile
Everywhere she goes
She shines
A ball of energy  
Bringing joy to everyone around her
She’s beautiful
God
She’s stunning
And every little thing she does
Makes me glad to call her
My
Sunshine
