Caen las hojas del árbol a la tierra—
cruzada por la suerte, embrujada
por luz—y muere la flor marchitada,
esperando hasta el verano cierra.

Este incendio forestal me salva,
y tienen toda la dulzura de miel
las cicatrices debajo de mi piel.
Pero es mi alma verde, o malva?

Ahora la luna me deja en paz con
el mar tan tranquilo, tan violento.
Duermo baja las estrellas porque son

mentiras los susurros halagüeños.
Discúlpame por dejar y lo siento
por la pérdida de cientos de sueños.
  • i don't want to wake up.
  • i find myself forgetting to breathe.
  • it’s like divya saidi’m so sad beneath all the happy.
  • i can write a sonnet in spanish but i can't write anything worth calling worthwhile in english anymore.
  • nothing beautiful, i mean. all i've been typing is emails and college essays, selling myself to institutions where i don't want to be but where at least i can hope it will be better than where i am now.
  • i try to make enough with what i have, but it's exhausting, but i'm not supposed to tire easily.
  • thing is, what am i fighting for?
  • what am i living for?

  • i've realized that when i say i'm not human it's
  • not a plea for someone to tell me i'm wrong.
  • it's wishful thinking.

  • the future:
  • i'm turning sixteen in five days.
  • i'm going to a halsey concert with friends.
  • i'm spending a week on our senior trip to disney world.
  • i'm going to be okay. this will pass. it has to.
