I’ve lost my mind a thousand times,
I don’t know why

My spirit you’ll find
In the pines, in the pines,
Where the sun never shines

Where wolves devour my corpse
And bend knee to the source

Where my will is dissolved into ethereal vapor
While the wraiths sing and dance in mysterious caper
Night sits on my chest
Squeezes poems out of me
And grinds my poor soul

I look at the moon and think of you.

Monsters don’t exist
Still, we are very afraid
Because we made them
Monsters. A concept so often used to represent anything dislikable to society, which we are afraid of. Yet literal monsters don’t exist.
You’re much like the rain,
You can be soft or heavy,
Or kind to my drought.
your presence
is all
i need.

Let us not talk
about family

My father
is the word absence

And my mother
is the word fear

I kept saying:
no one loves me
no one thinks I'm beatiful

What I really meant:
I don't love me
I don't think I'm beatiful
I smoked to fill my lungs
to **** the flowers that grew there
the ones you planted last december
