for the past few days
i've felt the weight
of humanity
heavy on my lungs.
i've been so
dissappointed
and tried to
escape
in my books and movies.
i thought that
alma or leo
or tom or summer
could fix my breathing.
what i didn't realize
was that all it takes
is someone
to empathize,
tell me i'm not crazy.
and i am still having a hard time
reintegrating myself into society
but my life is no longer
a work of fiction.
