in the beginning of my first year of high school, i was the girl with messy hair who tried to off herself in summer's past, the one with tired eyes who skipped lunch despite empty stomachs feeling heavier, the freshman with open wounds grazing the veins in her arms who sprinted out of classrooms due to the sporadic nature of panic attacks. i'd like to say that i've transitioned out of the cocoon of panic disorders and ptsd and depression, but somehow, the butterfly wings haven't grown in yet.
