That night something crawled between my ribs and whispered to my heart until the blood in my veins was sullied with secrets.
Now when I scrape my knees the wounds never clot; they flow and seek and hunger.
To whom do I owe the bitter symbols etched upon my skin?
To whom do I owe the soil caked beneath my fingernails?
To whom do I owe the salt always layered on my teeth?
The wind howls and it howls and I can’t help but wonder if it’s finally come for me.
Would things be so bad if it did?
Point anywhere on the map and that’s where I am, I’m only solid here.
I could disappear like a magic trick if I truly and fully believed, but as with most things, even minute levels of doubt ground me to reality.
If I decided to never sleep again I would spend my nights thinking of the sea and of colors and of all the music that will only be born long after I am buried.
Thinking of snake skins and the smell of Autumn and the feel of bone-deep hunger.
How easy it would be; to wake up one day for nothing to ever be the same again.
I want someone to make one of these new sterile teen gay romance shows on Netflix but halfway through they pull a Doki Doki Literature Club and it turns into a fucked up fourth wall breaking psychological thriller that deconstructs the heteronormative and middle class ideals of the genre
losing my shit over this
but i am an american so i must kill. im order to survive. if i don't kill them i will die. i don't think surviving is wrong. do you think im wrong for surviving? they deserved to die too. so i could live. did you know how difficult it was to kill? if anything i am the victim. the person i killed is gone but i have to carry these scars for my whole life. my life is a blessing on the earth don't you know why aren't you celebrating it? you must be a terrible person. i just thought about killing you.
the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
the only hint of pathetic/desperate tyler and it was robbed from us
