see you in a minute

or not :)

I love him

[a-burnt-out-academic]

RIP Domitian, you would have loved Halloween

[a-burnt-out-academic]

I wish someone could comfort me the way I comfort others

[a-burnt-out-academic]

It's like clockwork,

Every three weeks, without fail.

Every three week you have too much to drink

Every three weeks we have the same conversation

Every three weeks I say the same three words

And every three weeks you reject me.

[a-burnt-out-academic]

I want to be embraced like I'm made of fractured glass and you're the only thing holding me together

[a-burnt-out-academic]

And what if my best isn't good enough ?

What then

[a-burnt-out-academic]

Oh

[a-burnt-out-academic]

Oh denial, my old friend,

How good it is to see you again.

[a-burnt-out-academic]

Boy oh boy

I am simultaneously the luckiest and unluckiest person alive.

[a-burnt-out-academic]

Hit em with a comparison they'll never expect

[a-burnt-out-academic]

"Who are you?" They ask.

"I don't know." I reply.

[a-burnt-out-academic]

And for some reason,

All the blurred paintings looked better to me now than they did then.

Maybe I've finally realised

The world is more beautiful when you can't see it clearly.

[a-burnt-out-academic]

Hometown cha cha cha reminds me what genuine joy feels like

[a-burnt-out-academic]

And I haven't felt said joy since

[a-burnt-out-academic]

Burnout can't happen if you refuse to acknowledge the signs :)

[a-burnt-out-academic]

Even if it is the end

I don't think I'd mind if nobody came to save me

I worked hard

For years I put in the effort

And yet

When you asked me

if it was all worth it

I had to force myself

to nod yes
