Hey, so shout-out to the amazing @ggsnap1290 for voting on soooo many chapters, thanks so much!
So, I've located one of my amazing voters, going to hunt the other ones down. >;)
And I'm off hiatus, expect a lot more updates!
controversial truths
if you're still breathing you're the lucky ones
they said
and she thought
how controversial
i am a ghost in skins
i am a phantom breathing
i am exhaling and inhaling
wasted oxygen but
there is nothing but emptiness
left behind,
you can tear apart this ribcage
this ribcage tying back this
empty, echoing heart
my soul barely shining
a jail for this vortex
sucking in all light
all hope.
you won't find anything inside
maybe ashes
some embers
because this is a burnt world
with all fuel lighted and gone
i am breathing
but I breathe carbon dioxide
and the smoke
of the once alive hearth
