i don’t grieve when my layers shed. it’s all a part of my monthly rebirth. i’m a split yolk, milk teeth hanging on by a thread, all the texts i wouldn’t send. stability stings like tweezing splinters. i don’t want my mother to recognize me. eighteen has been screaming change since day one. i can’t teach myself how to smoulder.

yes i'm changing
i don’t grieve when my layers shed. it’s all a part of my monthly rebirth. i’m a split yolk, milk teeth hanging on by a thread, all the texts i wouldn’t send. stability stings like tweezing splinters. i don’t want my mother to recognize me. eighteen has been screaming change since day one. i can’t teach myself how to smoulder.
