I want to find the truth.

feeling connected
feeling relaxed
at home

you are a part
of my family.

with beauty
are my breasts beautiful?
i want to be held
i don’t want to be fucked
what is my worth?
distraction
from the present
happiness
sadness
urgency
information
I change the world
one post at a time.
pain
I avoid it at all costs
taking the long way
to school
taking the long way
to a joyful life
until I can’t avoid it anymore.
turn
face
open
to pain.
lungs tight
I feel like an elephant is sitting
on my chest.
I can’t breathe
but I can cry.
I relax
and think that it might be possible that everything will be okay.
tight jaw
I can feel
stress
entering my body
jaw tight
I am angry at the world
I bite my tongue.
I speak out.
my jaw loosens.

vibrant
joyous
orange
my life opens
to playfulness and ease
why can’t I laugh anymore?
