jellyfish hearts

and i woke up

i was lost for so long
walking in circles
through the cursed forest
of forgetfulness

and listless dreams
sleepless nights
stumbling across those who got lost forever
and feel asleep
for eternity

but i clung to my hope
that the light
it would find me
and me,
it

and i stumbled out of the clearing into
society
and i realized
i had finally made it

i'm here

so i took a match to the forest
set it ablaze
refused to turn around as i walked away
and i woke up
