I Sing the Body Electric, Especially When My Power's Out

I listen to this poem a lot when I feel down. I listen to it again and again and again until my mind is distracted from self-destructive things and I let myself ponder on her words, branching out ideas, wondering. Sometimes I focus on one part and write it down, either in my mind or physically, and think about it for hours. Days. Weeks. I like thinking about words, even if the ones in my head are unable to be understood if I were to let them escape through my mouth. Thinking about it enough keeps me going.

I'm aware I haven't really done a proper blog post on here recently. I'm sorry about that. Ruki's birthday was last week and I did think about doing a post but... it wasn't a good day for me. For him it was, hopefully. These past two weeks haven't been easy on me, but I'm trying to keep my head up.
