tapestry of lines / rough draft
you are enough without all of that;
i am so profoundly tired, just want to be still;
to be the sun for you to bask in;
to conjure up warmth and let you unfold;
the hollowness of sober conversation;
the autistic drag, the pits i carry;
how hard it is to channel joy, surrender to it;
the desire to move through it all, take on different shapes;
to imbue whoever i cross with a new lens;
to be like water, manifest nurture;
how willingly i was uprooted, imprinted onto the thrill of you;
how deeply i wanted to fix you, become a jest of a nurturer;
how i con myself into wanting;
how expanding myself feels futile again, because nothing is ever enough;
how i crashed like a kaleidoscope breaking;
how harsh the sun and the stillness always feel;
how i waste my youth weeping in a vacuum;
how i trip up over and over the recursion;
