I hope one day I can atrophy completely. I hope one day I can do it all the way. My mother always said "if you do a job half assed, it's like you didn't do it at all". I wish my body would finish the job.
Aching knees and ankles screaming in pain. A fogginess that never really leaves. A body that betrays me over and over and over and over. A mind that is so abhorrent to others that they try to forget I exist.
"Maybe it's the hormones", some will say. The weight of a stolen womanhood bearing down on my body so heavily that it crushes my joints to dust. "Maybe it's the antidepressants", cry others. Putting on pounds, teenage metabolism lost in a storm of my brain screaming half broken promises at itself about how life truly is worth living if we just keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
"Maybe you should've never been born", I tell myself. Imagining the half assed job I did years ago, holding those pills in the bathroom, ears ringing so loudly I can barely think. Sometimes I think that everyone has their own problems, and it makes them too busy to understand mine. Sometimes they're happy and don't want to hear about the sad things. I'm beginning to think they just don't care.
I think if I'd finished the job instead of bailing halfway through, I would be grateful to get my real name on my headstone. Maybe I'd even be buried in a dress. That's more than most trans people get, isn't it? Shouldn't I be grateful for that? For the roof and food, for the constant bare minimum while I wither away in my luxurious cell, desperately clinging to the voices of miles away loved ones to pretend I don't exist? Aren't I lucky?
I think if my body could ever do something right, could ever finish a job and finally make my mother proud, it would atrophy and wither and turn me into dust with how much the pain has become, finally free, particulates in the wind, blowing out the open window. Maybe I'd make it as far as the ones I love, Illinois and California and beyond.
I think in her eulogy of me, she'd complain about how I didn't get the dustpan afterward.

Long distance love is so frustrating most of the times cause you can't just come over to each other to give them a hug and some kisses if they're not feeling good. And you can't receive them either. So you can only rely on texts and calls. And the feeling of desperately needing a hug from the person you love the most will just break your heart in bits and pieces. And you never realised before how badly you can physically miss a person. And yes you will get stronger through it... But there are times where you don't feel certain of this at all and where it's such a battle to get through this until you see each other again.

"Tired"
Tired. So tired.
I need rest. I know I do. And yet, I sit here, trying to participate. I can't concentrate. I can't talk. Everything feels so loud. It's hot. So hot.
I just want to lay down. Sleep. Sleep sounds good. Just for a little while. Until I feel better again.

sometimes.
most of the time i’m okay when i’m around you. most of the time i’m me and i’m myself. most of the time we are just two friends laughing together. but there are sometimes. sometimes my dysphoria takes over. and i become a different person. and it makes me hate you. it makes me hate your voice and your muscles and your jokes and your laugh and everything else in between. it makes me angry. it makes me feel robbed. because that should be me. that should be me. i should have the flat chest and the deep voice and the boyish charm and the strong muscles. i should be roughhousing with our other roommates. i should be making sex jokes at you all too. but instead it isn’t. and instead i’m me. sometimes i get enraged. and i want to scream and cry. i want to throw myself at the cold hard ground until i look bloodied and beat up and you can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl you’re looking at. i want to rip the guitar out of your hands and smash it over your head. i want to punch you and scream and yell because you have everything i want. and it isn’t fair. and when these sometimes happen, i feel so guilty afterwards that i can barely look you in the eye. it isn’t your fault. it’s not your fault i was born wrong. but during these sometimes it sure does feel like it.

The person with blue eyes will ways know something you don't.
The one with brown eyes will always feel somthing different to you.
Those with green eyes will hold a different perspective from yours.
And the eye that hold the sun will undoubtedly fear somthing you've never once considered.

What were her dreams?
Sometimes I think about the little girl my mother was.
What did she dream for her future?
What did she want to accomplish in life?
If I was in a room with her younger self, I think I'd break into a million pieces.
Knowing her fate, I'd cover my ears. Drown her words out, scream at the walls to block it out.
I can't help but think that if I never existed, she might've reached one of her dreams.
She had me at 18. She never got to spread her wings outside of the cage that was me.

Vulnerable
Something happened on Friday. I don't know how to define it but the tension since has been eating away at me and I don't know how to fix it. . . . Please tell me how to fix it...

"If I could I would give you everything. Because I love you so much. Maybe for now, best I can do is survive by your side, be a voice of reason."

I don't really want to be held anymore.
Don't kiss me, don't even touch me, I'm too delicate for that.
I just want someone who will sit with me.
Just be with me as we watch the stars.
Cry with me, scream with me, laugh with me over nothing.
Just exist with me, please.
Exist with me until I'm ready to be human again.

Tell me I'm worth it
Please
Tell me I am the cool side of the pillow and the warmest part of the bed
Tell me I'm the perfect cheesy slice of pizza and the sweetest bite of watermelon
Tell me with your touch that I am soft and loved and enjoyable
Tell me with your eyes that I am all the sunsets
Please, I beg you
Tell me I am the orange you peel, the flower you keep in a glass vase
Tell me you will shelter me and set me free all at once
Please
Before it is too late
Tell me
