and before inhaling
those sweet crumbs laced with
self-destruction i
met the
the biggest drug dealer in the city
last night, but
dont tell him i said that
says he who works beneath him
and sometimes asks to kiss me --
gave me a beautiful, soft
two-dollar teddy bear
he purchased with
dirty money

relearning to hate you
there are people,
and phone calls,
and pictures plastered to the inside of my brain like
washi tape. a
colored array of all the things i once thought
i would never want to live without.
(maybe that's why you're still up there because
i don't want to live without you but i know i
should and i
need to and
i never do what's best for me).
and this is how it's going to go:
i will label you the bad guy,
and retrace my steps when the guilt washes me too far off shore
(because you're not, and god you never were).
and then i will talk about you like you were nothing,
because if something still haunts you so bad you can't
think it clearly or put it

atrophy and me
i'm not trying for barbie doll.
my ugw is skin paper-wrapped around bones and
bound at the seams with medical tape;
my aesthetic is fingers-around-thighs and
wrists and
collarbones / hipbones / rib cage and
oversized xs's and
sleeping in a coffin and
blue fingertips and
shaking / twitching / shivering from the
cold / fear / exhaustion
i've been living in.
it's this-isn't-thin-enough
the number isn't small enough
i will never be small enough because
i always take up too much space and i will until
i've decayed away into nothing,
and hunger aches but only until
you get used to it
(it hurts but it's worth hearing little words
"wow. you're light

Hey You...
Hey you.
Don't give up on yourself,
Cause you need to know
That I'm not giving up on you.
I will never give up on you,
We will never give up on you.
You might not know who 'we' are,
In fact you might not believe we even exist.
But we are there.
We are the ones who will listen,
Help as much as we can,
And be there when you need us most.
You are not alone,
And you never will be alone.
There is, and will always be another person,
Who knows exactly what you're going through.
Even if you think it's impossible.
Please don't ever think,
That you're going through this by yourself.
Please don't forget,
That you have help from people who care.
