I have this fantasy where I am driving on the interstate and I am not daydreaming about crashing my car and being killed on impact
I have this fantasy where I have never spent a whole summer covering up my scars
I have this fantasy where I know my body and I am at peace with it
I have this fantasy where I never stopped making art because of what a teacher said to me when I was seventeen
I have this fantasy where I know how to write good poetry
I have this fantasy where I have never fallen in love with too many drug addicts
I have this fantasy where I am sleeping with a stranger for fun and not because I hurt
I have this fantasy where someone knows all the best parts of me
I have this fantasy where someone knows all the worst parts of me
I have this fantasy where I can say “I love you” out loud instead of just writing it down
I have this fantasy where I am giving my whole self to somebody else and they are not asking me for more
