00.16 — Summary

KrystalAnxious

I looked to the shadow in my hands. My hands looked different. More different than It used to be.

My hands looked as if they are being drawn.

Or they are being erased by the painter.

So as my eyes. I can feel a slight difference in them.

It's one of two. I EITHER, have lost my mind. Or, my heart had changed it way of seeing things to the point of where I see my eyes, and my hands differently.

I longer want the things to be as before. It's OK if I got left down now. It's OK if ibgut pushed now It's OK if I got sick now. And it's OK if I never knew what I will do with my life. Now and for good. Now and for good.

feel nothing. Be something. Do everything. These are the things that I can take right now .

I am dissaperaing from the reality I have created. To a one where I can't see myself but in mirrors.

Krystal's poem begins with a small, strange moment: the speaker looks at their hands and barely recognizes them. They seem sketched, or half-erased, as if someone is still deciding whether to keep them on the page. The eyes feel changed too. The speaker offers two explanations: either they are losing their mind, or their heart has changed how they see everything.

What follows is a kind of tired surrender. Being let down, pushed, or sick is "OK." Not knowing what to do with their life is "OK" too. The repeated "Now and for good" sounds like a vow, but also like a weary shrug. The short commands, "feel nothing. Be something. Do everything," read as a bare-minimum survival list.

The mood is numb, quiet, and a little unsettling. The final image, of being visible only in mirrors, suggests a speaker who feels detached from their own life and half-unreal, though the poem leaves it open whether this is breakdown or change.
