glow

Published 2024-06-15

Dazed from the glow
Face what you know
Weep on the floor
Stare at the door

Wear what feels good
Scared of what you should
Wish it wasn't so
You know what you know

Like a song stuck on repeat
Comfort from familiarity.
The world is fraught,
with cruelty and love and magic.

Pull me out
of this doubt
I can't breathe,
I just want to be.
