Blind sight
I don't think I've to be afraid
anymore. Because I'm dying
And if breaths had colours
Mine would be yellow, wheezing with snots
His, a bright blue
And the house's a deep deep red
That has scared me all of my life
I don't think I need to worry anymore
Because I'm falling. And god, if falling feels good
Simply because. Today was the day when the moon disappeared
And I was left looking at the sparse night. With sporadic stares
From my mom. "You don't seem okay."
And I look back at her. The white light in my throat, and my imagined intensity taking up my cavity
Like blindness takes up to the night
"I'm not." I reply, but only in my mind
Because if the day where I stopped lying and cheating and sneaking and smiling. Stopped being sick. Stopped being bad, came
The day would certainly be the day I will be about to die. Because then I would stop being afraid
That someone's better than me. Or that I suck at living. And today's not the day. Today's not when everything becomes free. When my soul climbs up again the search of moon
And does not find it there, anywhere
