"soft-girl"
purple, pink, blue, green
colors and colors and colors
surrounding me like a child's cartoon
almost like a terrible fever dream
it surrounds me and eats at my skin
leaving sticky sweet marks smelling like lollypops
because i am no longer human
i am a piece of the picture
stuck in time
never leaving my small cocoon
so i speak softly and sweetly not wanting to alarm
i dress as a child to not break your facade
and i hope one day you'll see that i am not just blush and sweaters
my blood is sugar not because of my personality but because i turned into the nostalgia you so wanted me to be
