Fireworks, beautiful, exiting, wonderful, right? Well sure,
if they’re not erupting into the empty acidic pit of your stomach filling you
entirely. Katherine wheels re arranging your internal map, rockets dividing
everything you thought you knew against everything you’re about to find out,
sparklers igniting in crevices of your shell like body you never knew existed.
These fireworks crawl up your throat, the searing pain becomes the only thing
you can truly focus on, they catapult up into your brain as you race against
them trying to save your thoughts from corruption from these fireworks. your
heart is beating with your whole body, loud enough to provide rhythm for every
song ever sung. You ascend into the sky with these fireworks, even when they
stop marking the sky you’re left floating above the world seeing it spinning,
with no way to find control and pull yourself back down into the world again,
everything just a hazy pinprick mark orbiting around itself which you’re
floating further and further away from. tears impale through my eye brimming
and burning corroding away who I was. Nothing makes any type of sense, the world
is spinning at an uncontrollable rate. Every decibel amplifies to hear
shattering volumes, stampeding around your head, everything is too close, the
slightest movement ricochets the fireworks back to circumnavigating my heart,
everything is unfamiliar as if a spirit had transpired from your person to
explore unknown terrifying new places. Lights are stark, pierce straight
through my eyes, shattering my eyes which are glazed over like freshly cut
glass, the world is scary. When the fireworks finally retreat and you begin the
seemingly perpetual journey back to normality you notice your fingertips are
dripping and wrinkled like you just bathed in the vastest horror filled ocean,
your whole body jerking like a car whose engine wont quite start, breathing begins
to starts paining and becoming a chore to your lungs as if something is stuck
inside your chest filling your lungs up making your breathing faster and faster
shallower and shallower like a riptide taking place in a rock pool. You realise
what you’ve become, your whole body starts to ache dully, eyelids heavier than
the weight of the world, nausea sitting where the fireworks live, ready to
sleep but you don’t give in. you don’t talk because that makes the fireworks
angry, so you just trapse along wondering when the fireworks will next decide
to attack. It’s like an everlasting smoke always behind you, lingering, it
stench sticking to your skin but no matter how many times you try and cleanse
yourself it always there.
Girl, you are aspiring af. Look at all those 'big girl' words ;) So proud of you.
