most nights,
it takes a war to close
my eyes, & even then i
still see monsters.

my mind is a cemetery
full of whispers
best not mentioned
(because you'd never
believe me if i told you).

i just want to be free.

to wake up with a
craving for sunshine &
supernovas nestled in my
rib cage, instead of thorns
beneath my skin & bones
between my teeth.
also known as nightmares.
