the sun is a liar. it is not lovely and warm and gold. i woke up and sat in it’s lies. i woke up and i’m cold. why is there snow in the air? it’s covering the sky and the clouds. and the sun is there laughing at me. smirking. foul. i wont let it get to me. so i’ll look the other way. to the ground with itchy fingers. with nails that scratch my legs. and arms that hold me and tear my hair. i’m snagged between two layers. between fields and trees. musing to the painters, treacherous to me. but the water is surely forgiving. it cannot snatch and cannot lie. it feels around my body. it holds me while i fly. it sucks me into it’s lungs and deep deep i am breathed. and the air is a mischievous thing and it escapes me. if i close my fingers around the spheres as they float back to the sky, they burst and scatter between my hands and giggle before my eyes. i'm sure the river bank is soft. and it will be kind to me. and as i trickle to the silken grains i let it envelope me. it touches my face and runs across my skin. it sweetly loves me. it shushes around my feet and hands and says it will be my bed. and covers me like a lover and cradles my head. i send my mind far away and up up to the sky. to leave my body sleeping in peace while the sand closes my eyes.
i suppose this is about someone who finds their self depressed, and can't find any beauty left in the world. they turn from one thing to another, but feel like they are being lied to or shunned. so in search of something to love them, they end up giving into their grief and fall in love with the one thing that is truly unkind to them: the idea of their death. in this they have lost all sense of reality, and believe that all else is cruel, and the way to leave the world is the kindest.

i hope none of you relate to this poem. :heart:
