Go-To Survival ⌛️
We shake in our skin suits because they wag their judgmental fingers at our feeble phases of life. It tears us apart to be alone, again. I’m untouchable, not because I prefer it, but because it somehow keeps the peace around me. We cannot have what we desire most. On a dismal spit, our hearts, they roast.

The wellspring within me grows more fatigued and disappointed with the numbness that appears to be my go-to survival mechanism.
