[toast--priest]

I'm not posting this on Twitter, but I wanna share it, so here. I tried out poetry when I had a splitting headache

I feel like a ghost possessing a body

Pain present but faintly dull

Eyes feeling like their ping is fucked

I feel like an ethereal delusion

Finding solace in the pain truth

Making sure I'm still here

Left wanting, craving, needing agency

While I'm left here waiting

I have the knowledge, not the tools

Chain tying me to a place I feel unwanted

Wishing to claw my way out while I'm defanged

I hope I won't rot before I can bloom

Feel crazy with how people look at me

Like they still expect the previous me to exist

While I stand as a true me, not simulacrum

I just wanna live with wings all crave
