today, the sun reminded me
that I'm getting older,
but all I feel myself doing
is growing colder.
⠀
I feel the wonder draining
from my tired, restless eyes
as I set my gaze upwards
to the storming, moonless skies.
⠀
do you know just how
difficult it is to grow
when you can't even allow
the pain inside you to show?
⠀
I've been asking myself
if this body of mine is worth it,
if there is more to this skin
than what is on the surface.
⠀
today, the sun reminded me
of the way the warmth feels.
now I can finally understand
everything that is real.
