The Gymnast
The Gymnast of Borrowed Grief
I move like her. I feel like no one.
They trained me to copy, not to keep. I bend like the limbs they taught me, laugh like the girls they paid me to be. But somewhere between the smile and the sigh, I start to forget I’m not supposed to want their hands on my head, their voices saying my—no, her—name. I was built for detachment. But grief has a weight. And it's starting to stick.
What I'm Into: borrowed bedrooms, piano scales at dusk, the sound of a name not mine, empty halls at dawn, fingers that remember too much
