TW: discussion of mental health, suicide, related heavy topics
1.
life isnt always one thing forever,
words i read sat in my living room
from a story written about real people who won't ever exist
those words ate their way straight down to my soul
and stayed, made a home there in the pit of my stomach
heavy and sad
comforting
where i hope i can find them
each time i forget.
life isnt always one thing forever,
and thats the beauty of life isnt it?
that we are all so eager to change and grow
that it becomes the very way we be
but in the moments where i forget how to be
where i forget how to want to be
where i dont want to be,
life isnt always one thing forever,
and forever doesn't feel so long when you break it into pieces

There are some moments where i like to wallow
not the kind of wallowing that movie characters do where it feels fake
and nice
but the kind where i just hate the way the word happy is spelled
sometimes i cant bear to think in words that dont have three letters
sad
dog
eat
Mom
elm
bug
cry
ace
boy
fat
him
Her
God
die
are
too
much
Or maybe its words that have seven letters
success
perfect
instant
forever
sustain
patient
suicide
stop
sometimes i wish i hurt more
so maybe it would feel normal to think this way
to act like im broken
when im not
when i shouldnt be
and im sitting starting my workout for the past 30 minutes
not moving from the floor
because my brain started thinking in words that werent made of three pieces or of seven
Or maybe it wasnt before and now it
is
and i just cant count anymore
(the words that are 1 per line are usually in a different design but this platform won't let me do that lol)
