Description
I'm a good girl. I don't stay up late. I don't pull all-nighters. You'll never find me rolling in sheets with a forgotten god at five in the morning and turning all the lights on so I can see my confessions at two ay-em.

I'm porcelain in a paper cup world. My skin is white, fragile, but unchipped and unscarred.

I don't have glow-in-the-dark stars hanging from my lamp and I don't get sad as the light fades out after ten minutes. I don't turn the light back on to make them shine again.

Stars aren't supposed to shine once they go out. They're supposed to be black dwarves, just blips on a radio machine and more fodder for an inevitable black hole.

I don't hear music from the sound of my pencil right now and dappled sunlight on the sofa isn't art. Van Gough is art, and I ignore the Sun's rays for his permanence on the living room wall. He got the shadows wrong. And it used to be in the bathroom and the master bedroom, but not both at the same time and I shouldn't feel the need to clarify that because I am porcelain.

Or maybe I'm a polystyrene cup in a world of biodegradable furniture.

Maybe I'm as lost as you are.
