the planet spins backwards
as i stare at the stars
and maybe i feel like i'm going
backwards too
each step forward
is five steps back,
each inkling of progress
vanishing without a trace
tonight i had another panic attack
or at least i think i did
sitting on the tile of the bathroom floor
and staring blankly at the door
i wish my body was habitable
but instead i feel like burning it down
sitting on the ground
if i could join the planets
and sit among the stars
every step i took could mean something
and that's all i want to do
