1 / 30 : through the looking glass.

back at it again. 30/30. this should carry me back to vandy, if i keep it up. i plan to keep it up.

through the looking glass.

this conversation
is beyond overdue 
and maybe the overwhelming
scent of honesty in the air
has us hunched over our laptops
brows knitted
pecking away 
our versions of the bigger picture
that we still keep in a cracked frame
on our nightstands

we've been antagonists for too long
two princesses at odds in different kingdoms
fighting over the same land
as if it were sacred. as if it was
blessed

and i dont know what has gotten into me
this honesty that makes me want to
take months of inner thoughts
and hurl them out for your approval
or disapproval but this sickness
called the truth 
i need an antidote quick before
i say some shit that is so real that 
i surprise you that
i surprise everyone that
i surprise even 
myself

or maybe this is what i needed
to get all of this disease out of me
wipe myself clean 
and lick these wounds
sign off of the internet
set the laptop down and 
readjust the looking glass
i've been peering out of
so i can finally see
so we can finally see
past the seemingly insurmountable
hurdle that 
he 
used to be
