They say “write what you know” I want to write about love and beauty, but I only know ugly. No heart has ever belong to me, no hands have ever sparked at a touch. Ugly lives with creative minds, given courtesy of dreamy teen rom coms. I want to write about fun family trips and birthdays'. Joyous days spent frolicking on the beach, but I only know secrets, shouting, spite. Love that should be given as sweet as honey, yet this family bee sting is laced with bitterness. I would love to write about the moments of content. wrapped in the light of the moon with someone, breathing in synchronisation. To tremor when I stand around you, my heart racing to keep up with my shaky infatuation. So i don’t write about these things. I write about awkward fumblings, ungracefulness of my ungainly movements. dinners with no conversation, the dullness of an everyday flat life. I write what i know.
