between lightening rods and moon beams, we danced, i remember it vividly because i wasn't there. if people say i'm interesting, i wonder how many beautiful things i can't see in this world, what is everyone seeing in the world? i can't see. i wasn't there. my mind was with the lightening rods, as i intricately imagined the perfection in their creation, you couldn't have been a mistake, who are you trying to convince? i was imagining what would happened if i died, if i cracked my skull open, if it got trampled, if the crowd forgot me, if my toe would suffer, if my shoes were getting ***** if i should just let the crowd take me, and i did. i give in. it's not enough, i still can't feel. i yearn for the cold air, just to make sure i can still feel it. that's cliche. scratch that. because it's a contrast. it calms me. i'm never satisfied. use your strengths, baby girl. critically analyze yourself, and radically restructure your being. enough with the band-aids. they heal, but they cover-up wounds, make them puffy, leave scars, and pull your hair when you go to peel them off. what are your deepest fears? to be a contradiction. to be judged. to disappoint. to die alone. to die. i can't fix this. i will be a crazy person. i am a crazy person. my mom dying. watching people suffer and knowing i'm privileged, hurting people, my ***** not being big enough to feed my future children, not having enough flesh to carry a child, being manipulated, being tricked, being innocent, being inexperienced, being me, drugs, addiction, kissing, having *** being fat, looking like a man, getting a heart attack at age 21, disappointing, men, power, control. he says, "have confidence in everything you do , if you are gunna doubt anything, doubt your fears." whatever the **** that means.
