Dear Mr. Graveyard Keeper
Dear Mr. Graveyard Keeper I hope your day is not peaceful, I hope that when you wake up your kitchen will catch on fire, or your car breaks down, maybe your wife decides she wants a divorce. I hope your day will not let you be happy so when you go to work at night and start making your rounds, checking headstones, clearing dead flowers, and when you eventually see the tree, you will see me. my limbs wrapped around the tree like a vine that had always been there. you will see my empty eyes, my pale decaying skin, and it will not be the worst part of your day. Please do not try to pry me away from the bark that lets me see the sky. Do not lay me to rest for I am not deserving of it. Let me rest here on this tree, until the worms burrow in my chest and eat what is left of who I was. I will eventually chip away like the tree is shedding me to reveal its new skin, then I ask you to please let me sink into the dirt, and you can go on, and you won’t remember seeing me, because I hope your day is not peaceful.

fleeting moments
All roads must have led me here, a strangers car I will always remember. The drive I wouldn't know would soon take me home to someone else. I got in the car and met your acquaintance. We talked in that stall for hours and never saw each other again. We said our goodbyes and I drove away never knowing that our meeting would change my life forever, for the better. I was shown that I was worthy of having someone listen to what I had to say, even though our energies would only know each other for a few hours, their combination made my decision for me. I would never return to the dark corner I was once made to sulk in, I was free, while still in shackles. I knew that the release would come shortly, thanks to this fleeting moment, becoming aware of my control over my own silhouette, I will not be the person I have been forced to be.
