what do you read when you’re sad
what do you write when your skin doesn’t know how
to hold you to a place where your heart can’t find cover
who anchors you when you need to fly free
because the ground has thorns and rocks and
all of it reminds that belonging bears a price you won’t pay
what do you read when everything hurts
what do you write when the nice words won’t come
the soft words have sharp edges and your pledges
to stop the tears all come to lies
tell me what you read when you’re sad

I take to my bed and read science fiction. Something about going to a world outside of this one, prior to sleeping, let’s me wake up with the sadness flung off my shoulders.
