8/6/2026 Hope

I’d be lying if I said I was a happy girl before all this

There were monsters before him, before them

Something died

Something went missing 7 years ago

I spent years trying to understand what that was

What could it possibly be?

And where did it go?

There is plenty that haunts me

I shift their weight as they cling to my back, arms, ankles…

All dead versions of me

But this felt different

Another “part of me dying” wasn’t fitting

It’s hard describe when you see the world in shades of grey

When parts of you are hallow

so, what else died?

What am I?

Where am I?
