Unwanted intimacy [featured at Radiophrenia 2025]

I see myself fall apart, yes. A damaged good, exhausted at your constant attacks. Some mornings I feel like a million pieces, scattered around. Others I feel broken, wrung out in your hands. You try to push me away, but I am already a part of you, I am a part of this unequal relationship. You made me this way. You drew me into this unwanted intimacy.
I see myself drifting aimless, like a solitary speck in a vast and indifferent world. Alone, I face your scorn, your hatred. You point at me as the source of all your problems, you curse my existence and plot my extinction.
I take all in. Everything. And I stay. Not because I am weak, don’t fool yourself, I may appear fragile, but my strength surpasses my substance.
And I am not afraid of you anymore, reluctant lover.
I am the future you created, a future that you dread. I am a part of you. Can you feel me, crawling through your veins? Nestled in your brain? My texture indistinguishable from yours.
I am the obnoxious guest who overstated their welcome, the shadow you can’t shake, the Vampire you invited in, throwing the doors open.
You cannot escape me. I am your life sentence, I command and rule, over you and those like you.
My strength does not have equals, I do not fear, I do not tremble, I am relentless, and those who seek my end will never succeed, I cling to existence and I am invincible.
There is no escape. I dominate earth, water and space. You can try to destroy me but you’d need time. Time you don’t have. I am microplastics and I rule the universe!
