Smoke

It comes in through the cracks

Seeps between the seams

Settles on anything-everything

A constant reminder of the destruction

The evergreens now ash

Lingering weeks weeks

No matter where still there

Carried on your clothes

The death of those trapped stuck to your skin

Suffocating

Challenge
Describe how scary it can be to come out of the closet.

The Fear

The fear

The undeniable fear

The lingering ever present fear

The shouldn’t be there fear

It’s okay but still the fear

Living in constant fear

The I’ll lose everyone fear

The I’ll lose everything fear

The burning my eyes in the light fear

The maybe I like it dark fear

The closing in fear

The wide open fear

The empty fear

The I don’t want live fear

It’s too overwhelming in the fear

But it seems like all I have is the fear

rose bush lungs

it's more often than not

and all it takes is a single thought

who woulda thought it'd be me

joining a march to the sea

the weight settles over heart

and the panic begins to start

rose bushes sprout in my lungs

all words sound from foreign tongues

the thorns dig in

the roses break through and burn my skin

my heart beat rapidly rising 

my head i begin despising 

but i'm okay

that's what they like to say

if they ignore my diagnoses it'll just go away right?

what do doctors know my brain is surly alright

Challenge
Who's ready for another 15-worder?! Here it is: Say something about yourself from the perspective of an inanimate object. Compliments and insults are equally encouraged.

from a bed

burdening weight forever on my chest 

constantly spilling from water from his eyes

sinking farther
