Kiran · personal reference
This heavy season is not my whole story.
Nothing to fill in here. Nothing to keep up with. Just things that are already true, on the nights the weather turns.
I have survived one hundred percent of my worst days. My record is unbeaten.
- money and comparison The house, the car, the questions from home.
- behind everyone Everyone else got there first and you can see the scoreboard.
- afraid for the job The fear that arrives dressed as arithmetic.
- alone in it Carrying it by yourself, again.
- flat and far away Nothing is wrong exactly, and nothing lands.
- can't think — just ground me Skip the words. Something to do with your hands and your breath.
