[glassgauze]

growing and healing and growing again and feeling like my bones are breaking with each new bloom. i remember once, many moons ago, when i would dig my heels into the dirt. when i would demand the world change for me rather than face the haunting within myself. and now i can't wait to split my ribcage open and watch what grows out of it.
