Endless

Card

after card

after card

it keeps going

the stack endless

the family tree sprawling

stretching

growing

by the second.

I have to write it all down

I can't even remember who wanted to read my speech

but it's a mess

and someone just rang the doorbell.

Sigh.

  • Judgement

    The fear

    well, more like terror

    and self-consciousness

    and discomfort

    that comes with thinking that someone is looking at you

    their eyes on you

    it's truly horrible

  • The rain

    The rain scares me

    intimidates me

    loud and imposing and looming

    often arriving with thunder

    lightning

    sometimes power outages

     

    The rain comforts me

    soft drizzles rinsing out the hardships

  • Safe space

    My virtual home

    where I can make my words dance and no one can change the choreography

    where I can be loved by other people like me

    where I can realize that I'm not as alone in the world as I originally thought
