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

“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

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
