a space for youth writing on mental health & identity

![]() i. treading on clovers, rich in birdsong / the sink of a second system & seeing / the aftermath of a starful non-existence. / we crawl back to our senses, pardon / the touch of feathers, the dew-light / flutter of their wings / soft / like the dreams we (should have) had. / now i am your broken mirror / & your hands fiddle— not / knowing where they belong / this is the start of my antagonizing / a multifaceted beauty, because / a pen & two colors are my only way / to you. there is nothing quite like loving / you / in the midst of the white noise / of the world.
ii. is there a way to feel / darkness? to feel the future swoon in all ways that hurt? / when vastness envelops my entirety / in the most loving manner, the splendor / of breathing is buried in dirt and heaps / of time— waking up to a sunless, breathtaking / brightness. in this enthralling dream / a thousand years beyond, i had / outgrown and woken up to everything / i ever wanted. i was a holy rapscallion / of privilege, i was a volcanic ache in the midst / of luminosity / there is no wound but i still bleed & there is nothing to do but ache.
