.Where to Ship My Grief.
“She’s in a better place.”
How often I've heard those words,
Spoken with such certainty,
I wanted to ask,
In this place that stretches space and time,
is there no pain? No loss? No grief?
But most importantly, “Better for whom?”
“She’s with her God now” they would add
what good was there in saying that name to a 17-year-old girl
to whom the name God…

When I was young
Time held my hands
and helped me walk
One step after the other.
When I fell
It sat next to me
And waited.
How patient it was with my heart.
and now
As a grown up
I don’t fall as often as I used to,
But, when I do, it takes more time to get back up
And Time doesn’t wait for its peers
It goes on
Here I am
Lost

Somedays
It takes my soul a number of existence
A number of lives
Within her
The old lady with a woven past around her neck
Within him
The young boy drunk in youth
Within it
A wasted dream
Within God himself
In flesh trying to fit into the skin of man
And
Somedays
It takes closing my eyes
Taking off all that skin and flesh
And there
I find myself
A pure energy
Until I have to be human again

Do not get used to a routine that isn’t yours
Do not get used to the collective conversations from across a corridor
Do not get used to the phone rings
The tea breaks
The 5:30 pm rush to leave
The taxi line
Your cubicle
Do not get used to leaving your signature so obliviously that you don’t even check the date
Do not get used to breathing in blames and breathing out okays
Do not get used to your plastic chair
Do not …

Those days
You know,
Where your lungs feels like a solitary confinement with four people in it breathing over your shoulder
You know,
Where your eyes are sensitive to light,
Any light
Light coming from your phone, the window, fluorescent tubes, smiles and kind hearts
You know,
Where you can taste the rust against the weathering gears in your brain
Where you hear others calling out your name but you have to…

A collaboration piece with @vectorart
A frame can hold broken pieces as one
Giving you the illusion of wholeness
Trace back each crack and they will lead you to a single point left untreated
Its survival depends on the frame
Take it away and it all crumbles before your eyes.

Asking it to take its foot off of your heart so you can take a breath.
Have you ever prayed to your tears
Asking if they can stay in a little bit longer
At least until you are by yourself
Have you ever prayed to your memories
Begging if they would let you see a face
Hear the voice
Of the lost one
Have you ever prayed to your mind
Asking for a break
Have you ever prayed to your he…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @Everted. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
