***** hands
Broken teeth
Shatterd eyes
Shocking glare

Broken pavement
Bloodied soul

These cards are not your own.

You called me a ***** from my first breath.

Extenuating circumstances were but a detail; extenuating being - nonexistent.

This sheltered child that just wanted love and knew no better.
This sheltered
— gay— ******* girl —
wanted acceptance and found it in her abyss.

Where her quirks were labeled earned her outcast. Lines up her calves. Feelings of something other than the terror that ensued.

Listen to your mother - she’ll tell you your worth - a list of pros and cons - calls to the cops - but is it worth her gaze ?
Moms busy in the bathroom.
Were you ready to be a parent so soon?

They see the lines - they smell the cigarette dreams. Do they see your drowning? Do they hear your screams?

I’ve never been the one to
Break

It’s the world around
That seems to
Snap

But with you;
a tear from your eye causes my entirety to
Shatter

My love, you’re my world.
My existence summed up into a person.

How
-terrifyingly beautiful-
can that possibly be

You hold my heart in your palms

I’ll have it no other way.

freedom
in a few words;
after a million lies.

freedom
in a couple minutes;
after years.

freedom
the glass closet fell away;
shattering.

freedom
in a few words;
I was free.
