The remembrance of my body betraying me,
Trembles my slewing stomach,
My rib cage crumbles at each ragged breath,
With warm flesh dragging against the moist air.
I cough,
Over and over and over again
Till I gag on my own skin.
My vision blurs at the world around me,
The world that creeped ruthlessness
Into each thought,
Breath,
Bite,
Step.
Gone is the peace of myself
Because who am I,
If most of me is them?
I stopped standing the day that everyone else stopped standing for us
I have not put my hand over my heart in over a year because what is there to hide?
I was born here with the blonde hair and blue eyes
Her life flashes before my eyes
intertwined with his chained heart
Her smile is present even as she breathes
blood
rats surround the alley
a few more steps
1... no no no they wouldn't do this to her
My friends are not Australia but I wish they were. Because if they were, then there would be no world where I have to save them from doom scrolling thousands of perfect bodies that a 13 year old can't and shouldn't have.
