this is a gift.

i am encased
in wires
shivering, hearing the airplanes above
before my eyes open.
i watch my sunshine go off on his own
the only calm
to this gaping
[[ v o r t e x ]]
i have to make
my own sunshine
the light must glow
inside me
even with
everything
the avalanche
i will dig my way out
frostbitten but alive
and i will
persevere
someday
someone else can warm me up,
more than just my hoodie.
