// this is not neglect //
I am not a hoarder.I just live in a bodythat drops things fasterthan it can put them away.Pain interrupts motion.Thought stalls mid step.The floor becomes a witnessto every intentionthat did not make it to a shelf. I stand in roomsthat look like surrenderand people think this messis a choice.They do not see the freezethat locks […]
// i did nothing wrong //
I keep circling the same thoughtlike it might open if I press hard enough.

Delivered.I refresh my faithbefore I […]

They rush ahead nowbright streaks of colorwhile I flicker behind themlike a bulb that hums but never fills […]
