i want to cut myself
open, and pour out every
word i thought about
telling you but never did
and stitch myself
up without anyone's help,
and clean away everything
i have depended on to fill
empty spaces, and replace it
with something new
i want to paint over my
wounds so that i don't have
to be reminded of what
i went through to get here
i want to be beautiful without
you, i want to be courageous
