Carry On

My other half

my neighbor

my friend.

You will die in my

lifetime

and I will be left without you.

How does life go on

without you as a

constant companion

to support me?

Even if I was ten years older

then I am now

you would still leave this world

before me

and I will be left behind.

Species should not

affect friendship

but it does when it comes to

age.

So how am I going to

carry on

without you?

  • 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
