The end. Finish.

Angry banter. Funny banter. Harmless banter. Hurtful banter.

blue. anger. life. grief. freedom. Grey grey grey.

six years too long.
three years too late.

i am free. finally. and I feel fine.

eyes forward.

I think there's someone I'm missing.

No matter how hard to try to keep my eyes ahead, the creeping fingers of ghosts past keep tap tap tapping on my shoulder.

quiet please. please.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.
