I’m tired of wanting to let go. I’m tired of trying to hold on. Tired of turning the pages hoping for a better chapter.

Play the Game
I have a mug that’s broken twice. Each time I glue it together. It’s not worth much, really. You see though, I wanted this mug to be my mug forever. I haven’t held much forever. Haven’t trusted it’d be there. When I hold my mug, I think of the warm summer air in Washington when I bought it. I remember feeling like I was friends with my step sisters and I felt like I fit in with my family. I felt invincible and I felt love. It could’ve been the meds I’d had all week - mom says I’m so nice to be around (but only when I’m high). Oh my mug, my mug.

Mug
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?

Run Away
I’ve always had some days that I dont exist. Some days, I just can’t try anymore. I can’t be anymore; life's heavy. When will I go a day and be able to breathe through; I’m still waiting. I’m so happy, But ******* sad. It’s never gone away. I just keep reaching and reaching. Falling harder and harder every time. Drowning into myself and my suffocation. It all feels so ******* unobtainable. Someone made a world for everyone. Except me.

Existence
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.

- break snap shatter -
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.

Realizing I'm not where I belong, just where I am. Realizing I lost my love for myself and I can't pour from an empty cup. Realizing I'm on my way, but not there yet. Realizing that breaking someone else, won't build me. Realizing that caring, isn't always easy, nor will it repair anything. Realizing that eventually these rains will stop and these winds will cease.

Realizing
When I finally broke; I shattered. Little broken shards, in my tiny glass closet. Bloodied and broken. Shaking with a pain and understanding I had never felt. A brokenness I needed to know. An understanding of the way it should be. In opposition to the way it was. My glass closet door could be left ajar.

My Closet Door
I'm ****** to hell for loving a woman. But I'll exist in hell for loving a man.
