  • roots

    Ripping a flower from its bed
    I swallow the roots
    So that one day I may have
    My own

  • Soft betraying lips

    pressed to the base of

    my throat, my hearth—

    the vulnerable purring

    underbelly of my

    Wild heart 

    Cannot choose

    Will not

    Boredom is the death of love 

  • Reasons to Stay Alive

    Part one

    • Impending concerts
    • My pets
    • New music from bands I like
    • People I haven’t met yet
    • More time with people I love
    • Travel to new places
    • Spite my enemies
    • Fresh hair color
    • Tattoos to get
  • “The more I read, the more every aspect of my personhood is reduced to deep diagnostic flaws. I hadn’t understood how far the disease had spread. How complete its takeover of my identity was. The things I want. The things I love. The way I speak. My passions, my fears, my zits, my eating habits, the amount of whiskey I drink, the way I listen, and the things I see. Everything—everything, all of it—is infected. My trauma is literally pumping through my blood, driving every decision in my brain.

    I am the common denominator in the tragedies of my life.

    —Stephanie Woo, What My Bones Know

  • I got drunk instead of killing myself today. 

    I suppose that’s a win. 

    I wish I could give as much as I get. I feel like I’m doomed to forever love too hard, too much, and there’s no one that can match those feelings about me.

  • I forgot that everything is my fault, silly me

  • lonely and overwhelmed

  • read: you aren’t a priority

    I had the words before they

    smashed out across the porcelain tile

    A thousand miles away

    Who will I be when I wake?

    Capable and eager

    Hungering for more of myself?

    Or stuck in time, in bed 

    Crippled by body, or mind?

  • There is much to see in this world if only my body would allow it

    My bones are cracked asphalt

    Winding in unnatural twists and turns 

    Dead ends

    Stop lights that scream

    No more, enough

    We are tired we are in pain we cannot go further
