Storytime: I was sitting in my bed, being sick as sick people do, when it started POURING and my entire room turned yellow. I stick my lil head outside and was instantly inspired???? by how beautifully it looked outside and couldn't stop thinking about this one particular poem i had written. So, I sat down and filmed a quick vid because it was the first time I'd felt any sort of inspo in a long few days. 

 words:
the relentless tickle in my throat is a nuisance 
my nose struggles to breathe
and my eyes feel achey
but my chest is tight in a way i know is temporary
which is comforting

my body can heal from this
and i know it will
but i don't know how long it will take my spine to adjust to the weight i feel when you're around

Will I always feel sick?

or will my body learn to accept the discomfort and absorb your energy until all i notice are the sometimes aches in my knees
and bruises between my lips from keeping secrets from you

it's a good thing you're so comforting
because the way i feel is not
