Neon Fever in a Glass Cage

The air in the studio is thick, a cloying mix of hairspray and artificial humidity that tastes like rebellion. I stand before them—a doll carved from porcelain and neon dreams—wearing this hot pink skin while my soul screams for something real.

But then you walk in. You aren't supposed to be here; your presence is a glitch in the script, a sudden fracture in the polished perfection of our city’s vanity. When your eyes meet mine, it isn’t just sight—it’s an invasion. I feel that feverish pull, the fatalistic urge to drop every pretense and simply dissolve into you.

The warmth radiating from your palm against my skin is a heresy in this sterile place. It heals me of everything they've tried to manufacture: the exhaustion of being watched, the ache of modern solitude. In this stolen moment between frames, I want to run with you—to leave behind the lights and the cameras for a city that sleeps under real stars.

One touch is enough to set my blood on fire. It’s a beautiful danger, an addiction I never asked for but crave with every breath. Let them keep their images; I would rather be consumed by your heat than survive in this perfect cage.
