Post poem art

You call it the waiting season  
I say it is the walk of shame  
Who even are you?  
Used to be the girl who dreamt while awake  
simply because life was too adorable  
Now you beg to marry your lids, keep those eyes shut  
Maybe shed a few diamond tears  
but you forgot how to conjure those too  
The art of weeping is lost on you

It is believed to be better we move as we can say let’s move 
Heavy is the head  
a crown obese with caterpillars and cankerworms  
You preside as honor at a trial  
every version of you across all universes  
fighting to crown who hoards the largest tribulations  
It really is you versus you, a pain olympics 
My only wish: make it a rap battle  
at least you could borrow some rhythm  
 
The world was too beautiful to be true, huh?  
Maybe it’s you who won’t keep up.
A love letter to the girl who used to chase sunbeams, written by the ghost she became. 
For anyone who’s ever woken up a stranger in their own skin.
