Nikitagill Quotes

All you want is to be real again. To feel flesh against your flesh
and to stop lying with “I’m good.” when you mean “I’m burning.”

But the wood burns quickly through the versions of you
that you used to be till you don’t recognize yourself.

“

We all weigh joys and darkness and goodness and sin
you see, we are infinite within this skin we are in.
So when they ask you what you weigh
you don’t need to look down at any scale.
Instead, simply tell them the truth,
tell them how you
weigh whole universes
and storms and scars and stories too.

—n.g., WHAT I WEIGH.
