in sooth, i know not why i am so sad
i miss u in cerulean and orange
emotional support jumper in full force
one not to be reckoned with but
dear god my intrusive thoughts are
trying it’s not very late but i’ve got
a tired ache brain ache self hate
my favourite animal is you i am
consumed with insatiability and
itchy ankles when i open my mouth
songbirds fly out which is actually
very inconvenient my mouth is
full of feathers and bird shit now
damn that analogy i’m learning
to exist soundly love vulnerably
instead burn incense until the
smoke makes it smell safe again
i’m too afraid to leave the house
most days anxious twitch anxious
twitch ghost therapist dear god
i feel pathetic in my bedroom
tonight
