if I like who I am now, did I really waste my life if I’ve arrived at this point? I don’t know. everything I could have left every time I should have stayed every choice I wish I didn’t make or made a different way hides in mirrors haunts and lingers fades and flickers someday leaves you alone all departures (temporary) all departures (permanent) I held the old years close, I let them go all departures (temporary) all departures (permanent) brighter things await, more than you know and in the space between small things hold great meaning until they go, until they go I’ve lived inside my wounds and forged hard armor from my scars but I collapsed under its weight another thing I took too far all I really want to be is something soft and kind and sweet it is a version of myself that I so rarely let you see there is something more and this time I don’t have to scream there is the joyous hope of change, the brightest possibility and when you leave there’s love and grief I hope that you find what you need and all the good things that you don’t see all departures (temporary) all departures (permanent) hold the ones you love, and hold them close all departures (temporary) all departures (permanent) you have always been my favorite ghost and in the space between a murmur and a scream a fond farewell a fond farewell goodbye <3

haunted world of mirrors is maximalist gothic cybergrind, a recurring dream of old ghosts in new lives.
