squiiiiish


the fabric, your magic, makes you

feel                so                    elastic


oomph, the air smells like strawberries

the bed tastes warm, as if soup and hot chocolate are whipped up underneath


her

name is

Naomi


and she’s my favorite squishmallow


b tea bubbles in my mind

o as I drift off, doze off

b into a deep sleep

a


i float on

   the clouds


sometimes i feel exposed as if my skin is ripped off and my eyes are raining


my world is ending


the people i love are killing me off

one by one


the monsters are chasing me through the walls

the lawyers are finding me guilty

the policeman lock me up

the bakers poison me

the cat has killed me


sometimes the world is ending


but through it all, I wake up

and look

onto the carpet of my cozy comforts


        siblings

          on

            the

          wall


their eyes look into my universe and

I know

I am understood

I am appreciated

I am loved.

I was tired when I wrote this lol! It's easier to reflect at home then it is to reflect out in the wild.
