Ruins
I could never ruin anything.
With my writing-
There are loose letters, dangling from the ceiling.
I could never stop writing.
Just like-
That sink can’t stop dripping.
Drip, drop.
No plumber is coming to save the day.
I could never count to 1000.
I could never ice skate perfectly.
I could never figure out why…
There is nothing else in this world.
Except-
Beautiful windchimes, but it’s winter and they were all brought in.
It’s beautiful and weird.
I could never ruin anything.
Then I turned 25.
And my brain said to me,
“Good luck.”
