31 Days Away

3

My newest project is set to release thirty-one (31) days from now, and every day leading up to the release, a small sneak peek!

No one prepared me
for how long survival looms –
how the days return without apology
and drag empty sunrises behind them.
I moved because stopping
felt like folded surrender,
and they never told me
what to do with the quiet,
when the screaming soured and stopped,
and nothing took its place.

I’m what happens when dying takes too long –
a lifetime spent outliving myself.
