I tell myself often that if
they don't like me without makeup then
why should i care

wonder sometimes if he would compromise himself
for me because i wouldn't for him

chew gum compulsively and
carry perfume in my purse

wash colors first because they have the most
which makes me a little bit happy

put books in the bathroom and
i finish them faster

lately i've learned to sleep with the TV off
if the things that terrify me wanted to **** me, they
would have done it by now.
