down the riptide

Summer camp nights 🌲 🌕

After a while you get used to it. To be invisible. You even start to bless the day you’re just a shadow in their lives, instead that their favourite target. Keep on walking, no one will notice.  Their laughters. Their happiness, hitting you like knives in the back. Why are they so happy? What do they have to deserve friendship? What do you miss, to be like them? Keep on walking, they won’t notice. They never do.  Sometimes, when you dare to look up, you meet someone’s look, just like yours. You catch a glimpse of something, a connection that can’t be explained… but then, as quick as it came, it is gone. And you’re alone, again. In these hallways, the wildest jungle.
