I don’t want to go back to finish moving things that will disappear into the garage forever
I don’t want to go back
Face the emptiness of the space
Not a home anymore
A place I once lived
It is past tense now
Like my sister is past tense
And like with how they’ve erased her from all speech
How I’m the only one who seems to remember her
I want that place to disappear into my memories
I want to pretend I never left this house
The space has been trying to entice me
Hummingbirds and Sunsets
Thunderstorms and stars
Look they’re all in the perfect position
It is loud and I can’t sleep
The city screams with the pain its oppressed citizens do not speak
It is so wrong to speak out in pain because they are all pretending they are not
I can hear birds
But they are not the mix there was before
There are tits
I suppose I should speak my gratitude amongst my anxiety
I have walls
And my animals
I am not comfortable but I have somewhere to go
That is more than so many have
My father doesn’t have the anger he used to
He still angrily bangs around the kitchen
But he loves his cat
He has a cat
An animal he doesn’t resent
The Bible study shit is mind numbing
Oh God we know you’ll fix everything one day and we’re your humble servants and we submit to you and blah blah blah
Jesus save me from your followers
Save me
But I’ll be okay
That stupid fire in me
If I just make it to midnight
Just make it to midnight again
