my neck hurts and my head is too heavy

by allerweltskind

i have never actually broken a bone. the white in my eyes is accompanied by a hint of blue. the scars on my skin have tiny freckles in them and when i close my fist you can almost see through the back of my hand. on a warm summer day i jumped into the pool and my shoulder jumped out of where she was supposed to be. the next day my arm sparked a tattoo of a whole galaxy. i could always touch my hands to the ground when standing. my knees lock to keep me up but i have to make sure i am not going to faint because of that. yoga figures come naturally to me and sitting on a chair doesn't.
