Sometimes, I swear I can feel my chest concaving at the thought of you. I find interest in the fact that sometimes I want to be near you, but sometimes, I wish you were an ocean away. Sometimes I look at my mother, and pray I'm not like her, but other times, I wish I could be more like her because that would make my life so much easier. Sometimes, I cry alone at night. I sit unaccompanied and begin to gorge myself on memories and guilt that I am certain will forever haunt me. And during the day. I think about how many more days I must suffer before I can be me freely. Sometimes, I wish I was as much of a physical man as my brother is. Because sometimes, like when we have a relatives birthday, or a celebration, he is glorified for his ability to be ox-like. And while I sit here only weighing 130 pounds and having the strength of a rubber chicken I feel as though every bit of breath I breathe is not with the carbon my lungs put out. Sometimes I think about you. And how you're with him. And it makes me sick. Because sometimes. . . I wish sometimes didn't exist
