i always wonder when things will be okay. not forever, just until they're not again and my bed stops smelling like Tide and starts smelling like me and the water bill goes up and the phone bill goes down and my heart starts to hurt like it used to. i wonder when i won't walk with an anchor in my chest when the people who cared start caring again when i remember what feeling like myself feels like. when i won't be embarrassed around razors when i'll be tired as often as i say i am when i'll try as hard you wish i would.
