everything I needed was here
two windows
one to see the moon
and
the other to feel the warmth of the sun.
I forget to close my blinds when I get vulnerable but I love to keep them open
so people can know I’m real.
see me
half drinking water bottles,
surviving off my crumbs,
crying into oblivion,
talking to the moon when i’m wounded,
dancing when the water bottles
no longer flood my room
and dragons blood incense escape through the screen of my windows
and i’m staring into this portal
when i’m looking my best-ests
and I got this glow to my skin.
everything I needed was here
and it’s my only safe space
my shield these four walls.
can’t you see how real I am?
how you watch me
from the inside, out
undergo metamorphosis.
