i don't want for any

Giovanni Smith (they/them)

this poem is a reminder that it’s okay to acknowledge burn out.

i don’t want to think
about anything 
i remember 

or about anything related to the sky 
that has a star as a metaphor for my longing
i don’t wanna 
think

about how to happy
i don’t wanna think  about  how
i haven’t figured out how to take a breath
and believe in that kind of purpose

i don’t 
want to think about how not to feel 
like i am somewhere i will never be
or like i am all the places i want to get out of 

i don’t want to think about my pain
or the debris

​

this is basically the vibe of the poem. photo by: giovanni.
