unhinged they say depressives are EXTRA sensitive to rejection. when i was young this fact exacerbated my anxiety. my mood disorders became an ouroboros i was almost swallowed by in my twenties. i resisted medication. i discovered yoga. i dove into my faith.


i moved thousands of miles away from the places of my origin. we intersected for a few months. i hoped and planned for a future and then you cut_the_cord


you scoffed at me when i said i wasn't interested in watching you find someone you actually wanted to be with because i knew the_friend_fallacy for what it was and you were just discovering the horizon of that storm front. it was better to tear_that_band_aid_off_quick but you didn't like that strategy. called me weak, cowardly. but even after that, i still kissed you from, with love.


then, through separation, that part of me died. it was a part with deep origins. i subconsciously avoided things that would challenge the fences i had built and maintained to contain the spread of death. the shimmer_and_rot hid by elaborate schemes and material nonsense.


depressives are EXTRA sensitive to rejection and prone to self_reflection tinged with judgmental thoughts. i have a calcified exoskeleton around my soft parts.

you shredded my heart
of_course
i've been hiding ever since
survival mechanisms and coping skills
not always the healthiest
but whatever works
gets reinforced

after decades
chewed_up_and_spit_out
of_course
i've been hiding


i'm EXTRA sensitive
such is life
i'm tired of being measured
in the most superficial ways possible

the phoenix birthed
from all of these abovementioned ashes
is wrathfully unapologetic
these ashes leave a bitter taste
for all those that drink from these waters


pivotal
just now processed

but i get it now
why you said thank you that last time
