Some days it’s all I can do to get out of bed

Some days my body reminds me I’m morbidly obese

Some days I try so hard to adult and still fail

Some days I am invincible while being invisible

Some days I fight so hard to love myself

Some days I am most gentle with the me you see

Some day, always someday, I will be fully humanity

There once was sunshine

simply because you existed

But now the mirrors are covered

clocks stopped of chime

Proclaiming with black-gloved hands

that you had ‘Stepped out of time’

Singularly, I weep oceans

quaking with the tide’s climb

going through the motions

the consecration of your shrine.
