SPLIT IN TWO I am split in two. The other part of me is sulking in a burning trailer, trying to sleep away the flames. Meanwhile, I'm shivering in a downpour of stray planets, debating on if I should save me or let myself become the ash I've dreamed of since I learned about the machinations of subtraction. Which one of us is the hero? Which one of us has a dead empire in his heart? Are either of us God? We both withdraw into our own orbits but my hand has become unclean and his has saved us all from a promise muttered from a mute mouth.
I feel the trauma I've experienced has split me into two people: one who is pessimistic and believes the world will hurt me, and one who has hope for myself and the world.
