to think too much.
is it to ponder
over a thought
a couple million times
until it becomes rough and used?
or is it rather to have
too many
piling up one another

such a grave musing
you struggle to carry

just a slip away
from a fall in a bottomless pit
of darkness

i hide behind whispers
to travel within ears.
i'm your biggest danger
yet you shield me from others.
i'm a shadow's cousin.
always following,
only to be gone
when you try to find me.
what are you so afraid of?
that they'll see me?
or see the cracks within you,
where you built a home for me?
i promise i'm not your enemy.
it's them,
the ones who try to touch me,
the ones who don't understand me.

Lost at sea, she strived to break out of the water.
Just a little more.
Her hand met the sun.
And another pulled her down.

PROMPT: Memory Object
There, in the specific corner of my closet, assimilating with the shadows, lies a winter jacket. One that I hadn't seen in years and hoped no one would see again, and yet I remember it so well. It was pink, puffy, and had two pockets, with a heart at the end of the zipper for each. I had worn it everyday to school when I was seven years old, as one would when something was their favourite item (and also,...
