It's a lot closer than you think
eternity
pick any particle, molecule, atom
my love for you
it's there
Dark
Night
Stars
Eyes
Love
5 words can say a lot.
I can't tell you why
I just don't feel like talking
Just be here for me.
Step 1: Smile.
Step 2: Forget why.
Step 3: Keep your voice steady
when your soul is not.
Step 4: Pretend it’s fine.
(Everyone else is.)

Step 5: Fold your feelings
into paper birds.
Set them loose.
Watch them burn mid-air.
Clap softly.
Repeat.

There is no final step.
You just keep going
until you don’t know
what breaking feels like anymore.
I wrote this haiku
Just to prove a point in words:
No one reads these days.
my most toxic trait is thinking

     everything will work out.


haven't died yet

     must be doing something right or

getting very lucky.
