investment in yourself is highly encouraged
never likely
and usually exciting

but what they don't tell you
that's quite the most frightening
is sometimes they spit it back
and you lose all,

just like me.
unrelated to love, for once

there's very few things I'd taste the same way
as the sweetness between your legs
or a golden milk latte

did you ever stop writing about me?
did you ever really start?
Everything for the aesthetic

i was told not to idolize my favorite practice
of looking in the mirror and baring my teeth
at every disgusting piece of me

i'm not despondent
in this image
but rather fond
of my ability to embrace the monsters
within me
and still find it quite easy to breathe

isn't that a little scary?
all of this is temporary

access.

Access is wonderful, isn’t it
To somebody who’s never had it

So have fun with a better version
Of the things I have to work so hard to be

Because you have access to the things
That don’t come easy for me
Not Without weight in my screams
And the skin of my teeth

Because famous friends
And opportunity
Were never given to me

So I’ll kindly be lesser
Work harder
Cry often
And stick a sock in whatever stings the surface of my skin
Or the pits of my stomach

Because I’m still the ******* villain
im just a knock off

fall.

the moment the air starts to bite
with the shrillness of fall
my chest fills with light
and my thoughts

circle cyclically
over
and
over
of only your body

pressing me against the wall
and the pressure of your hips
slipping
and fitting
so effortlessly
into the crevices
of me

and I'd die
to know that feeling
you. and. me.

i've finally learned how to tighten my throat

and still let the air go
