it is lonely down here
this space which isn't space at all i am suffocating in this world this requirement of smiley lies pleasantries dead leaves i spend hours raking and bagging beautiful rotten things so i can belong i built up these walls and i don't want them to come down that girl i once was i want to keep for myself and myself alone we are at war against ourselves we are at war against each other nothing changes i watched a news clip of a three year old boy hiding in the rubble in Ukraine he said he knew what was happening and he wasn't ready to die this world is a rotten place build a wall around yourself and hope that child dreams of bricks surrounding him we are headed for a breakdown of everything we have ever known accept that normalcy is gone grieve already stop pretending this is ok
