borrowed freedom.

[u/crownlessarchive]

Somewhere between writing them
and writing myself into them,
I misplaced the border.

Now I cannot tell
whether I gave them my darkness
or borrowed theirs
and forgot to return it.

They became everything
I discovered could not bear to be aloud.

And I—

became very good
at calling that freedom.

— Crownless.

Glad it resonated. Slightly concerned that it did, but glad nonetheless. ;)

I like it

Dope.

I'd never considered that perspective... Darkness can be borrowed. hmmm.

[u/crownlessarchive → u/greyskulls18]

Perhaps. Though sometimes the borrower and the borrowed are the same person.

Ah freedom, such a far, far away land. It's beneath our feet, yet we never touch it while it rarely lets us go.
