A tiefling, seething

Never believing their scheming

Seeing through their lies to their meaning

Their institutions gleaming, seeming

Perfect but hiding the rot teeming

In the foundations, in the ceilings,

This teethling tiefling-

Fuck. I should be sleeping.

If you don't speak no one can know what's on your mind how you're feeling what you need right now

If you never take up space no one can know the wonderful things you do all those sparkling dreams you dream who you really are

If you always run away you will never know all the joy of staying the love and warmth of others the feeling of belonging

Please speak up; I want to know your heart Please take up space; I want to know your mind Please don't run away; I want you in my life Please let me know you; I want the chance to love you

In a moment

Life overturned

Gaslit by doctors

Dismissed

Sold snake oil

Told to be patient

Miserable

Sleeping to escape

Dreading dawn

Remembering

That I was once whole

Hoping

That I may be once again.
