bait

i was hooked

obsessed

for years

you were

my escape

my life

you helped

me

become visible

feel alive

valid

am i

invalid?

the last

time i saw

you

you 

told me

it was all

a lie

i was the fish

hooked

stabbed

through the

mouth

bait

for attention

from everyone

else

a crown

making you 

feel seen

and in turn

i am not

no one

notices the 

fish

so maybe

i am

invisible

maybe

i have been

all along.

  • louder.

    its starting to ring

    the noise in my head

    telling me im feeling

    something i didn't know

    i was capable of.

    its getting louder

    the sirens

    the warning

    i dont have a chance

    at surviving

  • butterfly?

    you had glitter

    spilling out of your mouth

    fine as stardust

    golden as pollen

    falling to the floor

    feeding no one

    you’re wasting yourself

    now all you feel

    is emptiness
