living the dark academia life
messy handwriting and even messier notebooks, doodles of skulls with sunflowers dangling from their eyes
burning the corners of pages, an older look given to them, the smell of ancient given to your room
wearing the cheapest, largest brown sweaters and the most comfortable, softest cream skirts
classical music softly bouncing on each one of the walls in your room, a list of your favorite composers pinned to your wall
a black ring on your finger, your hands wrapped around a warm cup of tea
your eyes closing softly from spending too much time reading, a candle to keep you company
the wet tip of your finger, the turning of yet another page
soft brown on your eyelids, gloss on your lips
long studying session in the library, you’re curled up on your chair, seven academic books are sitting next to your side, three articles are waiting to be read
stains around the edges of your nails, your skin painted with ink
a book in your bag, a pen used as a bookmark to annotate everything that makes your hands shake
a leather belt around your waist, your old grandpa’s sweatshirt tucked in has not gone to waste
standing right in the centre of a museum, sketching the outline of a sculture, scribbling down everything there is to know about a painting – in this, your hands are still stained
letting the rain softly caress your hair, carrying an umbrella to match your velvet trousers
a smile on your face when writing an essay, a yawn from your mouth when you finally go to sleep – after your eyelids are closed, psychedelic, dark and soft dreams are reaching your mind
