[◍◍◍◍]

these words that for so long have been my companions, i finally set free.
they weighed me down and so, i was drowning in my own thoughts.
tell me how i used to write these words so freely and now they latch on to the deepest corners of my mind.

i want to be new again, i cannot say desperately how so i longed for that.
the more i dragged and scraped my knee, i realized how pointless it would be to start over.
because i can show you every scar and every bruise, why i got them and how without them i’d be lost.

lost in my own words, in these cuts that bleed over that tell me where i have been.
i no longer struggle because when the words that cling to me say it is so, they too will scrape my knee.
