Broken body bound together by brittle rubber bands. Little girl picks up the pieces and they crumble in her hand. She puts the bits together of whatever's left whole that she can. Compress the bits to make me stand. Still standing, only showing half of what I am.
I never write anymore but my therapist gave me homework to "just write something" and I forgot until 20 minutes before my appointment and wrote this in under 5 minutes in the car. It felt good to write something.
