❛ as far as you know ! ❜ something lurks deeper ’thin these waters , shooting star ! something darker waits on the edge : go on , look closer ! see how image distorts with every word ? notice how fingertips clench themselves placid every step you take , every laugh that makes itself known ? the warning signs are there : take VIGILANCE , dear heart ! this world was only meant for the survivors , & so survivor she shall be should you PUSH HER far enough . take a step back , proceed with caution : these are the omen’s the universe bestows & still you will not listen . pause , yes , but only enough so that hand may extend , so that head may tilt in SYMPATHY : this world may have turned hard , but you , shooting star , have left room for TENDERNESS despite it . ( tell me of how , & love too , will be your DOWNFALL . ) ❛ k — kate ? are you . . . okay ? i was just joking , you know ! i — um , i can be supergirl ! if you want . you can just be regular ol’ kate ! no biggie . ❜
‘ REGULAR ? ’m not … ’
you are the murky skies on a clouded night , abstract incarnate ; the stars cannot shine so brightly when you are present , for you are no more than the HATRED that made you . oh , have you so little hope that you will DROWN pure optimism , murder DREAM - LIKE INNOCENCE just to keep yourself GROUNDED ? pitiful as you are , you must take your POWERS in hand , look upon the young girl ( look ‘pon the child you never got to be , watch her STARTLE && FRIGHT , watch yourself shatter a fractured psyche into smaller pieces than previously thought possible- YOU ALREADY TOWER , staring from almost a foot above , THE POWER OF THE GODS IN YOUR SKINNY PALMS ; your sins , your INDECENCIES- unforgivable ) . oh , dear ; you , clouded starry sky ; you , broken bones in a scar - addled body ; can you truly believe you’re ANY MORE than what your father told you ? the world has bestowed upon you a CURSE , no more- your sharpened edges cut the soft skin of anyone who comes near . hidden as you are , you are still CHOKED by starlight .
‘- would ya believe me if i said y’were still dreamin’ ? ’
