Every 24 hours is spent cutting pieces out of myself to give to the people I care for. Creating two new humans has doubled the speed that I slice through each layer. After 6 years of pulling apart and giving away pieces of me that I can never get back, I am left with barely enough to live. At night, I sit there and look into every crack and dark space, trying to find enough of myself to put together a collage of whatever identity I can find.
