I’m a juicy contradiction:
dripping with truth and absurdity,
bursting at the seams,
and spilling over the edges of sanity
to scream through the silence of
galaxies not yet ready for me.
I don’t walk.
I tilt. I twitch. I unravel,
then I wrap myself up
in the same strings I stripped apart.
To be and not to be—
not a question at all.
It’s a scream caught mid-breath,
a body suspended between inhale and ash.
I am muscle and ghost,
too soft to shatter
yet too sharp to touch.
I kiss with my teeth bared
and pray with white knuckles.
The gravity of my love and my hatred
creates wormholes that collide
with collapsing stars.
I'm impossible to categorize,
yet my blood drips
on every box they build around me.
Time tries to name me.
I erase it.
I fold the rules into paper planes
and burn them mid-flight.
Some days I’m the echo—
others, the mouth that swallows sound.
I’m longing and loathing,
divinity duct-taped to doubt.
I shift shapes mid-sentence,
lose myself on purpose,
only to find something truer in the wreckage.
I don’t want resolution.
I want the raw,
the splintered,
the sacred mess.
To be and not to be—
I am both.
All.
Neither.
Now.
