Renewing

Discomfort

settles

inside you

hardens

into something to avoid

churning your stomach

restraining you from finding peace.

Emotional

yet physical

tormenting you

pestering you

affecting you

until you finally ask

the question it wants.

"What do you want?"

Of course

there is no vocal answer

but the uncomfortable feeling in your chest

shifts

and a response is expressed

through emotions.

Fear.

Worry.

Anxiety.

Displeasure.

Constant irritation.

Emotions

feelings

swirling through your core

down to your fingertips

providing another question

but aimed at yourself.

"Can I change this?"

The sensations

dancing through you

like half-asleep limbs

inspire you

to change it all.

All of it

gone

changed

to be something

brighter

shining through pestering darkness

slicing?

No, not slicing.

Melting.

Fixing

mending

reassembling

renewing.

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Of Webtoons and authors and demented circuses

  • Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
