Can't stop picking at my skin
Underneath my nails I find bits of amber
What do they call these hidden gems?
Are they the stars we are made of
Still trying to save us?

A yellow, transparent liquid that leaks to let skin heal

The building blocks of life and supernovas

I didn't ask to be saved
Fossilised in stasis
While my mind ruins itself like a forest fire
Yet who are you to tell the stars they are wrong?
