it’s unnattractice to be insecure
but don’t get too confident
or their ego will then melt
and they will still leave you

to love
and
to fear
are two very different emotions
however
they often appear the same

let them search the scars on your body
and sympathize
how utterly horrifying it is
for them to see all these young children
making such drastic decisions
and ruining their bodies
as they sip their 4th glass of wine
and puff their Marlboro lights

my mom thinks it’s a hickey on my neck
and i’d rather her think that
than know it’s from your fingers
clamping my throat shut
with rage
