skye
going home isn’t always
returning to a place.
sometimes
it is returning to yourself.

The strongest current
You could ever swim in
Is not against
But with your own
<3

A moment of clarity.

You once asked me if I could ever describe you in four words, what they would be.
I finally figured it out.

She aimed for the stars
But was seduced by Saturn
No one's seen her since

Sometimes
I want to spin
Myself into a
Hurricane
Just to
Feel
The
Calm
In
The
Eye
Because without the storm, how would you know what calm is?
Everything requires composure,
discipline to look collected,
smart decisions, dry eyes,
get up from the ground.
You need to look tough,
whether you'll join the army
or sell cans by the pound.
Those were the stars
that taught me to write
and filled me with poetry
Our expressions become prosthetic when we have our emotions amputated.
