dreams
April 12, 2022
i used to live off of dreams
or rather, the feeling that came with them
the feeling that you could do anything without limits
and if the dream made me flinch
even for a fleeting moment
i’d open my eyes
but when i woke up
all i would see was imperfection
and falling asleep would numb the pain only temporarily
but clarity can be painful
bloodstaining your purity
and breaking you like glass
and because i feel like flying every time i fall
and i feel like fire every time i drown
i tell myself to dry my tears, it’ll be all right
just don’t fall asleep
