“cool is the careful onomatopoeia of you walking away”

Notes to Self are longer journal entries from Seven Yrs Ago. I was 20 in early 2014.

cool is no power

cool is maneuvering your way against it

cool is refusing to be a part

cool is knowing what you don’t have and fighting to never have it

cool is the careful onomatopoeia of you walking away

cool is gravity, keeping you where you were meant to be

cool is the depth of scars on the belly of your arm when you were told you will never leave him

cool is the grotto cry, gutteral, hollow, begging to contain more

cool is the sharpening of weapons unseen, sheathed in folded hands and open rest

cool is the remain,

the twinkle of inferno

of hot ashes devoured,

the last kindling wild,

before hush, repress into the darkness.
