I am still learning how to do the easy things
Like eat when I am hungry
and leave my bed everyday.
I am still learning to twist my tongue
around words
that resembles the truth.

I am still falling asleep with hope
suffocating between my clasped fingers.
I am still falling in love with the moon.
I am still stepping around broken glass
and thinking that counts as strength.
I am still hoping the world ends
Before I do.
