‘’my same my reflection my similar tied together in the womb even though i came many years after holding hands as we cross the road to steal candy from the gas station giggling at night and trying to stay quiet as we tickle eachother with our tiny feet our shoulders our eyelashes our voices once so similar once my reflection and once the same you’re older now and we have grown apart but the ties that lie underground connect us and keep us family even if we’re continents away.’’

“i bite you and my teeth sink deep i silently hope that my violence keeps you away but you don’t stop to pick my canines out of your flesh you just pet my head and tell me that you’re not mad so i bite again because maybe then you’ll see that i don’t bite to protect myself i do it to protect you.”

“you tap my keys and create a beautiful melody as your foot presses gently over mine; it makes me blush you fix my strings when i am a little out of tune; you’re never annoyed to help me out you gloss my wooden casing with a smooth finish to display all of my beauty but you grow bored of me after a while and i am left to dust in an old storage closet with my strings thinning and my gloss peeling i barely remember the last song i sang to you because i never expected you to simply just leave.”

‘’you sit in the shower and bathe in the glory you’ve always had and will never lose you lay on my bed in the middle of the night and lock eyes with me until i give in you stand behind me on the bus with your hands intertwined with mine shadowing my movements, collecting every emotion i’ve ever spent on you, tasting my skin when you know i’ve finally given up you’ve always been there like a spider that’s already been crushed but just won’t die i hear you whisper in my ear words that make my heart sink ‘’you keep coming back and you always will. pathetic.’’

‘’a man following you through an empty alley way deep into the night; the only light is from the flash of his phone a whisper about how bad you are at *** spreading through everyone’s ears even though you’re still a ****** a hand up your skirt on the bus from the stranger behind you; you just wanna go to your classes a **** a ***** a **** yet the moment you strike the second you bite the instant you growl the exact moment you show them the wolf inside you is the moment you’re banished from society for being too cruel.’’

“my hands my eyes my ears every motion that i use to pleasure my body are motions that i always deeply regret the hands that circle my bud until i am writhing in an unfathomable amount of pain the eyes that are glued to the screen full of people paid too little in positions i can’t even imagine myself being in and the ears that listen for every creek in the floorboard as i bury myself in the layers of self hatred disguised as an ****** i’m fed fantasies that would disappoint every single human in my devastatingly horrific life i’d sleep in your bed but my mind would only ever replay the videos i’ve watched over and over and over so i'm sorry but it would **** me to imagine it all over again."

‘’these thoughts constantly infect my ****** mind like a plague that infiltrates the body and forces it to ***** its innards or possibly a virus that leaves your face mangled with rashes and blisters the thoughts are violent, cruel, and unforgiving in the eyes of our lord and savior i do not wish to picture innocent souls in such ravaged positions nor do i wish to imagine what their insides smell like i want to curl up on my bed and hide beneath the covers until i am no longer a monster are these things that i truly believe? are they meant to expose my true nature? i’m disgusting.’’

‘’a suffocating tightness wraps around my body as i stand inside a sea of people i **** in a deep breath and keep it there to surpress the fatness that i was born with you call my name you give me a smile you love me so deeply yet the attention i’m given will never exceed the amount of guilt i feel staring down at the scale 165.4 165.5 166.3 the number goes up as the skin on my arms thins from the scars i cut into myself because i think i deserve it i stare at myself in the mirror; cringing at every roll on my stomach, every pimple on my nose, the gross stretch marks that adorn my hips . . . i’m so sick of this body i’m tired i’m so unsatisfied.’’

‘’my legs have turned to mush my brain feels like slop and my eyes have melted i clock out of my shift i go home i shower i study for my test tomorrow i go to bed i wake up i brush my teeth i put on clothes i go to school i clock in for my shift i clock out of my shift i go home . . . this tiring cycle is endless and the adults in my life expect nothing less of me you must get a good grade and study but you must also get 8 hours of sleep you must take care of yourself but you must work to keep your apartment a good grade is a good day, anything less counts you as a failure and as a mistake do not fail but do not exceed.’’
