familiar
it’s a familiar scene. in this bed. in this room. the smells. the distant voices. lying here feeling the way i do. looking in the same places. why do i always feel my worst here? yet, i feel so comforted. i don’t want to leave. happiness, maybe. nostalgia, possibly. renewed, yet i feel gross from the journey. refreshed, but i might need another shower. stomach raging. heart heavy in my chest. body aching for neglect. as if everytime i enter this place, i must face the truth o

you're on your own
i once wanted a big fight. i refused to accept my grace. i wanted to paint their names on the walls to show them what they did. the terrible thing i had to become, and the person who was then destroyed. i’ve mentioned pain before, but there are all kinds. revenge and remembrance are of a different kind. then, i look in the mirror. scared. swollen. tired of keeping the peace. fighting battles everyday. waging war to break a smile. i know nothing of other’s pain, but i know my

make it right
i’m here driving alone. i look off to the side of the road. it’s sunset. the trees appear red in this light. the sky is filled with pastel rainbows. i see deer grazing in golden fields. nature finds a way to fit the aesthetic. i need to listen to that one song. i usually feel sad when i hear it. but something tugs at my heart to put it on. it just feels right.
