she’s drowning again wanting to escape, jumping right into the whale’s mouth one’s value isn’t defined by her ability to sing she’s been muted since she started flying instead of swimming , she’s drowning again in all her flaws “step into the light”, they said she re-emerges from the cloudy roads her vision is blurry,Continue reading “Feather”
a piece of peace
i can still taste iron in my mouth thoughts never escape, unless you’re dead like a cockroach, no one gives sympathy for the one who destroys things and then asks for mercy. i know now that a lost puppy will always miss its first owner even when he’s living in a new house. that iContinue reading “a piece of peace”
