a space for youth writing on mental health & identity

![]() i am so drained from the static. A tide incessant cannot tell another to collapse. but / when / i drown / in pools of ebony / you watch the girl who taught herself to shatter in unfeeling, the girl who split herself open into halves when staring at the belly of a fruit bowl. what if i told you i dream in fragment too- that our words have strung each other so tight in emotion neither of us can speak. tell me you are a facade created in my open palm so i wouldn’t have to stay awake watching my eyelids falter.
