En garde

It’s easier to throw stones at glass houses

————

Rejection-real, imagined, or slight-feels like a gigantic force.

“I feel everything” and yet it’s still blown up to a billion scales larger.

As I was none the wiser aware.

Of the monsters lurking in corners

Swallowing their own sins

“I feel like I’m on fire, blazing and dull on the turn of every hour.”

An expanses of emptiness and feelings of chronic numbness existing alongside its polar opposite- feeling always angry

always hyperaware

and vigilant
