Trade

i woke up at 5AM this morning, done with my morning ritual – mostly caffeine (not great for my anxiety but lol) and journaling, and thought to myself: why not post this week’s post early so i can get it out of my way. so here it goes:

In the silent shadows where desires unfold,
I wanted to wear another's story, bold.

Each sunrise whispers tales of a distant 'they,'
A phantom image of perfection that leads astray.

Until one day, a twist in fate's grand chore,
My identity became the one they wished for.

Becoming one of them, dancing at every dawn and twilight,
Being wanted by them, basking in the skin from a borrowed light.

For when a soul wished to trade its core,
In that moment, I became one, wanting more.

not the first time writing a poem, but i’m still quite new to it. with limited vocabulary and literacy, i will try my best. i really can’t produce something long and meaningful every week (it’s lowkey getting shorter and shorter lol), but i’m still posting every week hehe. how am i doing recently? a lot better. i’m learning something new every week. reading has been going well (sort of) too. life is looking great :))
