the only person I’ve ever grieved is my past self 👧

and every moth I’ve ever killed to be

the only person I’ve ever grieved is my past self 👧

and every moth I’ve ever killed to be 
the funky beat that sneaks into my neighbor’s 
home sry but, unions literally unite people!!! 
swipe right on destiny: I’m on a sidequest 
for treats sometimes you’ve gotta kick 
the ball into a stranger’s court and sometimes, 
not even purchased serotonin is enough 
(almost texted that that to my dealer) 
a poet and a standup step into a bar: 
one can’t emote, the other can’t walk my grief
does it fit into your little Smurf treats? no but, 
it does fit into my orange bag from TK Maxx.
