“And If You Call Me At 4 Am, Too Sad To Even Say Hello, I Will Listen To Your Silence Until You Fall

"it was like something cracked open inside of me, not unlike a watermelon, cool and soothing sweet. I always thought insanity would be a dark and bitter feeling, but it is drenching and delicious if you really roll around in it."

“What's eating you alive / Might help you to survive / And even the nights, they could get better / And even the days ain't all that bad”

Maybe I'm just paranoid, or maybe I'm just livin' a lie - Can't stop this screaming voice, or maybe I'm just sick inside.

Skillet's "Psycho in My Head" (2022)

Excerpt from "Springtime" by Noor Shirazie (@noorshirazie)

Falling into the routine

Of having you with me

Is as simple as breathing

For all my decades without you

My mind finds itself at home

My body fits against yours

My heart sighs in relief

How you are so familiar

When I've only known you

For a mere fraction of my life

Is simply beyond me

"I just need to go out 'cause I can sleep when I'm dead"
