Wallpaper Smile by Pwen Twistl
i'll never tell my friends when i'm in Doctor Strange pain
upfront
because i know they too may be going through bullshit too
i don't want to add to the dumpster domino pile in this Twister board era
plus
i don't tell everyone or just anyone
it takes me time to anchor trust others
it takes me time to accordion open up
i have faced a lot of Goosebump nightmares
i have faced a lot of cold blooded anaconda crazy ass terror laughs and stares
i have like yourself been scarred by Zamboni grizzly bears
i have faced King Kong nonsense across the desert
plus
i still am in a space surrounded by packs of cigarette smoking wolverines
i still am surrounded by skunk day iron showers
yet
i still am here
because love still exists here
perhaps not everywhere but its here despite my Avalanche City pain and perhaps yours
there are so many dynamite things in this world
miracles
despite the Dodo violence
despite the tragic
if you push
if you alarm clock
Wake Up
swoosh
if you keep tugging at that Excalibur brain blade
you"ll eventually
King Arthur remove what makes you afraid
yes, you"ll find the Hansel & Gretel breadcrumbs of magic
yes, you"ll bake your ciabbata bread
yes, you can conquer the Hellboy demons that are in your heart and head
yes, you can...
even without me
because you have a superpower
to see what's lovely
through
your cannoli passion
use
your way of spreading more Wonder Woman Superman starlight
across this planet
yeah
there won't always be rainbow days
but what and who we love often helps us combat the burnt toast days
holding onto moments
holding onto memories
forgetting the word frenemies
if you take the time to Thundercat focus on what you love
then
the howling aches
the mechanical rust
the 13 Ghost wounds
the Loki stabs
the wrinkles of tundra time
begin to fade away...
your story is just beginning
this
is not
THE END
