Some people simply don't see
being kind is the best way to be.
These people are cruel
and will use hate as fuel
but floating by them with kindness is key.

is there really a
point in trying for it if
it's past the due date?

I know everything that's wrong to feel
and I feel it anyway.

I wear soft sweaters and oversized hoodies.
I slip into fluff-lined pants like they're my new skin.
I cannot be remedied.
I fall into it all and lose myself.
The other day, I wore my hoodie.
My dad came home.
I hugged him with a smile and then went back to work.
In fifteen minutes, I went to another room and took off my hoodie.
There was a not-oversized shirt underneath.
I walked into the main room, and my father blinked.
"Wow," he said. "You're not just a hoodie."
...Surprising, I know.
But I wonder how long it would take
for me to lose myself in what I wear
and drown in all of my skins.

i refresh the screen relentlessly,
hoping to be sparked with life again.

SPOILER: I did not write this in the right state of mind. I was (is, am) rather (quite, much) sleepy when I wrote this. Please regard it as sleep-deprived nonsense more adorable than concerning if you choose to read this.

I read this aloud to my sister and she clapped and said "good job".

soft, clammy hands and
sharp, forced breaths that seem both too
deep and too shallow.

in chemistry
I remember
back in middle school
specifically when I was in 8th grade algebra 1
when I would type poetry and
spinning thoughts
into calculators

in chemistry
all of my thoughts are
broken up right now.
I suppose that makes them poetry.
