I wish I was a kid again.

You can smell the picture. Feel the snow crunching beneath your boots. Hear the gears of your bicycle shift. Taste the sweetness in the rain. Were we ever really okay? I miss everything at once. How it all meshed together in eerie hues. The pigment was once my favorite color. I wonder how I can move on. Why the world is sadder than I could have ever imagined. Clench your jaw. Your teeth shatter anyways. You bite your tongue off but that’s okay because you have nothing else to say. You muster up a knee to lean on. Bruised and sweaty. Bleeding all over the floor and you’ll be the one to mop it up. Every war you fight is a good one, remember that. Remember it all. Remember the best and worst parts of it all. Ask yourself how to be kind to your body again. How you’re going to bandage these wounds without bleeding out again m. How you’re going to move onward. -AMT ©️
