Elucidating Questions

I’m a million people in one body, I swear

Forever exhausted by the world around me

Forever having just that little bit of disgusting hope that humans will figure it out

I really just want people to learn to be gentle with themselves

You don’t have to love yourself

That’d make me a hypocrite

But like, acknowledge the parts of yourself that need reassurance or comfort

Acknowledge that there’s been a part of you that hurts from your self speech

Some entity within

And, yeah, the thing

My thing

I have no idea

It talks to me it says

Yes, yes you do

And sometimes I wonder if it’s not just me, but

Oh welcome back

What now?

These spirits

And, yeah, I’m probably completely insane

But that clock thing

Broken as hell, but right about this

We’re all kids somewhere inside

In our irrationalities, in our fears

And a lot of those fears and irrationalities stem from that very kid not getting what they needed

I think if more people paid attention to that kid in them more they’d find a lot of their fears feeling a lot less scary

I know I did

I’ll catch myself in a daymare and be like really?

You silly kid

Chill

People act like you hit 18 and the kid part of you just ceases to exist

Like vwoop now I’m an adult

And isn’t that kid of childish?

Really?

Now suddenly I’m apparently capable of handling all these responsibilities I was not capable of handling 24 hours ago

What?

Like is there an adultifier ray I missed?

Just be good to that kid who society told you to abandon at 18

Let that part of you know that it is safe, and welcome.
