Marnie deserves to be kissed tenderly on the forehead by someone who really loves her and isn't ashamed of her and I think Marlon should be that person.

Sometimes I think I'm okay, then I remember that Oliver and Amy are legit light-years away from each other so they'll probably never get to hug or see each other in person, and Oliver loves her so much but he can't comfort her while she's trapped other than with his words, and Amy can't do anything to help him while he's alone in space, the only human for LIGHT-YEARS around, but they found each other and they're staying strong even though they're so far away and I realize I am definitely NOT OKAY

Thread

I.

There’s a thread I pull at

A Thread I’ve been avoiding

For some time

A Thread

Inside of Me

A Thread

I hide from me

Out of fear

Because I know once I jump on that train, there’s no stopping it

And that journey of passion scares the wits out of me

Because I fear it will betray me

And so I call it Mania,

Even though I know it is Love

II.

And so further down I reach,

Pulling this thread

Attached to my heart

I pull the string

And lift myself up from the chest

As though not of my own accord

And I see her, Me, my Full Self

All 88 keys, and then some, which I did know about

She glows in what was once the Dark

A shadow self coming to Life

Glowing and emanating this Light all around me

She is what she craves

Not some wholly other  

A Brother or a Mother 

But She

The Goddess Inside of Her, She is what She craves

She was fighting for survival

Behind a Diamond Shell

That no weapon could scratch or extract but She 

A geode inside of a concrete wasteland

The butchers cracked the shell once

But she painted over it

And no one was able to harm her again

Nothing was able to open Her again

Until now

When her internal song emptied 

Like long awaited Lava

A voice belting from pockets of air deep beneath her thick crust,

Air she didn’t know she had

And she found her voice again

The voice that was trapped for so long

The voice that said

“Yes, go ahead, reach out and touch me

For I am the Sky”

And her Stardust scattered the Heavens
