TW: death

Hey, hey, it’s okay
I’m okay
Don’t worry about me
I’m alright
I promise I’ll be alright
It doesn’t even hurt
Not really
Nothing does anymore
Hey, don’t cry
Don’t waste your tears on me
I’m okay
I’ll get through this
I’ll be okay
It doesn’t matter that my vision is spotty
Or my head is dizzy
Or that I can’t feel my legs
Shit, did I say that out loud?
Hey look at me

It’s okay
I love you
Look at me
I love you
Now do me a favor
Look away
Don’t worry
I’m alright
Just a bit dizzy
I’m okay
It’s just getting dark

You have something that’s clear
You know exactly what it is
Who it is
You have for your whole life
It’s the truth that you go by
Your north star, in a sense
And then
You invert it
And nothing is right anymore
Up is down
Left is right
You have no idea what it is
Who it is
How could you?
Everything was turned upside-down

That’s what you did to me
You took me
You took my sense of direction
And turned it upside-down
Now who am I supposed to be
How am I supposed to see

Now that everything is inverted?

The smiles, the tears
The laughter, the years
Don’t worry my dear
It’s all an illusion
My holding your hand
The lines in the sand
It’s great and it’s grand
A stellar illusion
Don’t worry about what you can’t see
Just focus on what you can
The love in my eyes
Ignore all the lies
What good is an illusion
That’s see-through?
So just trust me, ok?
Close your eyes if you have to

I’m here for you

A world full of stars
A world full of possibility
And it’s all only for me
A step on the moon
A step that’s too soon
Welcome to my world
The stars light the way
To a new beginning
A galaxy of imagination
Is formed underneath my feet
In front of my eyes
What better is there to do
With the gift of my life
Than to explore it all?

It’s a night out
There’s a night on the town
It’s fun
Isn’t it?
Friends all around
There’s lights and it’s loud
Still not loud enough
To drown out my thoughts
Does it matter
How many people
How much noise
You surround yourself with
If no one can really see you?
If no one can really hear you?

Computer
Can you tell me the answer
A formula to be solved
A code to be input
To make love
To make friendship
To make something
Anything
Why are you silent
Only 1s and 0s answering me
There are 10 options
To succeed
Or to fail
So please just tell me the answer
I don’t want to fail
I don’t want to fail

TW: death

When I was twelve
I gave my sister a crystal
I told her, “it’ll protect you.”
And so it did
For a bit, anyhow
She hung it from her window
I saw it everyday
And knew it’d keep her safe
Until it didn’t
I’m sorry sister
That crystal you hung in your window
It was supposed to protect you
I was supposed to protect you
I’m sorry it wasn’t enough

Escapril 23: blink and you'll miss it

Screaming whines
Childish cries
A wobbling small being
That carries my heart
A backpack too big for him
On his first day of school
A thousand art projects
I never kept
The first day of sports
The first playdate
The first date-date
Weren’t you a child a moment ago?
And now you go?
It seems like I blinked
And now you’re grown
And I’m alone

Escapril 22: intimacy

All prompts by @letsescapril on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/letsescapril/?hl=en

Intimacy is a funny, fickle thing
Isn’t it?
You give your soul to someone
And they leave
You give your heart to someone
And they tear you apart
Intimacy
Everyone thinks it’s a thing of love
But intimacy
Is the knowledge they have
To hurt you
When you let them in
They know exactly the place to strike
The way to twist the knife
To make you scream
That’s the intimacy
Not the love
But the pain

The lion’s den is sweet
The lion’s den is soft
The lion’s den is the only place
You’ll find respite from your pain
If you can pay the price
To break yourself with strife
To break yourself with knife
You can have a place
In the lion’s den
