I've been staring into the mirror a lot, turning to the side, admiring the subtle new curve of the hips, the roundness of my shoulders, the flatness of my chest.

Try treading water when an anchor is tied to your feet. *** Try to yell and scream when your throat is slashed and torn.

It's okay that I feel so low it's okay that I feel so lost it's okay that I 'miss' myself it's okay that life is blurry right now

Things are complicated they’re heavy and they hurt the hurt feels damaging and yet I see not one scratch my throat feels violated
My hearts crack Who put it there? I can’t tell if it was a fault of my own or someone else who needed to take a piece of mine to mend their own
I'm going to calm down !? I'm going to assume every person "knows" bad scent when they see it !? I'll tell you a story !?

Crawl --- Walk ---- Run Okay fine - I picked this image because it is "appealing" to me !? I'm the one seeing it, everyday - my eyes tell me it makes sense !?
If one person likes ME out of every person that knows ME - I will be happy... If one person likes ME, out of every person that has NEVER liked ME - I will be happy !?
Are we going to ask the weirdest question possible !? Like ha ha, that ain't funny - but atleast, I'll have some water party !?
Old self falls away, Like leaves from a withered tree. He speaks my new name. The shape of my truest soul, Blooming in the morning light.
