there is something powerful about holding a pen in your hand and writing down all of the things that you know and that you don’t so my tearstains litter the page like petals falling from my pen because my eyes have lost their caring long ago I’m not sure when but at some point being okay became more important than being alive so I don’t really cry anymore. can’t. sometimes I know that I should but the tears don’t come and I feel a little less than human but this is how i love myself: honest ink tracing words of the heart words that hold my essence better than i ever could words that voice my joy and my hope and my anguish words words words
