what you don't know doesn't hurt you
fuck this. I'm taking down my mirrors.
I feel dizzy every time I stand up.
I don't want sympathy or help. I want someone whose hand to hold while we jump.
I want to climb onto roofs and breathe the fear of falling. I want to know what flying feels like.
I want the branches of dead trees crawling up my arms, covering all my old scars and exposing all the new ones. I want words that would be lost in the wind if they didn't cling to the trees with all they are.
I want to walk into the lake and disappear under the surface, hold my breath for as long as I can. I want to know if being that close to drowning will make breathing seem like the better option again.
I want someone to make the effort when I'm too tired of trying myself.
I want blood.
I want everything.
I haven't loved or wanted to love since 2006.
I want to disappear in the sunshine and dissolve into the wind. I want my sweetest breath to be my last.
Some days I pick up the phone only to realise there's no one I really want to call.
I look at myself smiling and laughing at other people's smiles and words and it disgusts me how deceitful I can be.
I never stick to the things I decide because there's no one to tell me I should.
I'm a passer by in my own life.
Maybe I could be happy if I learned how to forget about myself.
