seizure

glitter dreams
starlight on my skin
as i lay fluorescent
wide eyed
breathing underwater and 
learning how to count on
stagnant stars
because you're only lucky enough
to ever see seven shooting stars
once in your life

that night
i was ethereal
with seven wishes to hope upon
yet stand today
knowing none came true

days when 
i wake up to heavy sounds

like i am floating

because something inside me
is being sucked out

sucked in?

miniature objects
that stun me
like a secret smile
like a secret
yelling in my ear
teaching me to stay silent
even though my heart
is screaming for air

screaming for air
like stale suffocation
