glitter dreams
starlight on my skin
as i lay fluorescent
wide eyed
breathing underwater and
learning how to count on
stagnant stars
because you're only lucky enough
to ever see seven shooting stars
once in your life
that night
i was ethereal
with seven wishes to hope upon
yet stand today
knowing none came true
days when
i wake up to heavy sounds
like i am floating
because something inside me
is being sucked out
sucked in?
miniature objects
that stun me
like a secret smile
like a secret
yelling in my ear
teaching me to stay silent
even though my heart
is screaming for air
screaming for air
like stale suffocation
