for loving the finality that comes with slamming a door
when i can't stand others doing it
but power doesn't seem so bad
when it's in my hands

fear and an orange light to guide you home
statues made of stone and a grassy path
walls standing tall with patterns carved into the sides
a rising sun to tell you that you are close but not yet safe

i remember days where i curled into corners and pressed against walls to hide from things i couldn't get away from and i remember your scowl when you found me and your pathetic excuses and the way you looked at me as you told me to stop because i wasn't allowed to be upset.
i remember being home alone with you and how the one time i stood up to you i didn't stutter but your shouting about respect shut me up and i don't always flinch when you ball your fists anymore but i would be lying if i said that i'm no longer terrified when you raise your voice.
i remember failing to blink back tears and trying to pretend i could escape as you dragged me to the bathroom and said that i was being ugly because i said no when i wasn't allowed to, and i remember feeling like the ground was shaking because you looked at me like i was a failure and god i believe(d) you.

i want to get all my fears
tattooed on my body
so that i can never forget
what i will never overcome

it was your day to be remembered
but no one said a word.

pictures are worth a thousand words and ours reminds me that you won't always be so far away

i always wanted support
but now that i have it,
i think i prefer disappointment.

i keep having dreams of exploring the universe with you
so please take my hand
and don't be afraid to touch the stars
