I keep going, even on the days I can barely breath, I keep quiet and I listen carefully to my own needs. I may not feel joy yet, and that’s okay. I’m learning to take care of myself, while having nothing to say. For now, that is enough. This is my win.

Was it really heart break? Or was it just deeply rooted trauma that he had plucked from within me and laid out to whither?

uncertainty sets me ablaze. I combust and I implode. Life revises itself and I lose my balance I am a child again, feeling unsafe, feeling the floor cave in from under me. My arms outstretched, I reach at everyone and everything just to grasp anything. But everything disintegrates from my grip and I slip through the cracks. Broken bones and bruised, but you tell me heal every time. How?

I round on geriatric patients in the psych ward every morning. Today my patient said something that rattled me to my core. She said, "Don't ever pluck your eyebrows they're so thick and beautiful, don't ever change yourself because they'll all tell you to, I did it...." she trailed off. For a moment, I wondered if she was lucid. I asked her what she meant, but she began rambling unintelligible words. I couldn't get much else out of her except what little wisdom her old tattered brain could muster up.

Seen but have never been heard, Heard but have never been listened to. Loved but have never been in love, Kissed but have never been touched.

Never have I ever

Seen but have never been heard, Heard but have never been listened to. Loved but have never been in love, Kissed but have never been touched.
