“Some days I’m Van Gogh’s Starry Night other days I’m his suicide letter.”

- Souu-h

different kinds of tired: 

1. all day at the beach sleepy. warm skin. wet hair. salt and sand and green apple-scented shampoo. bed sheet tides pulling up and down stomach flips into mermaid dreams.

2. milky tired. early nights. wondering if you are getting sick. medicine light bones. eyelids melting closed. dizzy, dizzy, spinning into sleep.

3. drowsy car rides. soft radio buzz. pillow on the window. pulling on your seatbelt. waking up and not knowing where you are.

the type of people the world gives you - 

light:

• glows when they talk, dewy eyes, radiates with a blessing from the sun, calm in the air and goodness in their hearts
  

ocean: 

• bodies full of stories, a will that ebbs and flows, lazy smiles, no real devotion to anything but existence itself, wordless lullabies
  

earth: 

• minds like caverns, hands like stone, to hold or to hurt, heavy irises, earthquake tempers, stubborn desire for constant reconstruction

poison: 

• an inexplicable sense of sharpness, hot tears, decaying cores, irreversible tornadoes and infectious whispers
  

• the tiny specks of colour in their eyes
  
• the bass and background sounds in a song
• starlight on a cloudy night
• how someone looks when they think nobody can see them
• the mannerisms of a stranger
• real meanings behind spoken words
• subtle facial expressions which last a second
• the underlying flavours in food
• emotions that a friend is trying to hide
• little lights in a sleeping city
• flowers growing through cracks in the pavement
• the mixed colour palette in a piece of art
• the melody of someone’s voice
