Confused again,
Right or left,
My hand gets grabbed,
A little boy by my side,
Dragging me forward,
He is smiling,
I run with him,
Where are we going, I ask,
Right or left,
Ahead, he says,
Ahead,
What's ahead, I ask him,
No idea, he says,
No idea,
I let him lead,
Confused again.

we're never what we think.
at least twice a day, i find myself wishing i was less.
less of a worrier.
less of a lover.
less of a mess.
all of this would be so much better, if the disconnect between
what i want and what i have would close because then things
would be simple for the first time in years. and i could inhale
without wondering what kind of consequences it will have five
minutes from now. you can only imagine what really goes
through my mind in the time it'll take you to breathe in and
out. now hold it. like i've been holding this thought for months—
the girl i was is quickly vanishing.
i've been holding it like a secret on the tip of

You want me to save
The person you all see;
I'm dying to save
The girl I'll never be.

Stone
"You have a stone in your heart,"
That rouses me somewhat. I look up from my book and out the window at the gray fog that's settled over everything like wet cotton. I imagine breathing it, letting it fill my lungs with gray. All at once, the room is suffocating and I push the window open and the cool air tumbles in and ruffles the pages of my book so that I lose my place.
The spell of the story unravels and some part of me aches to know that the sort of love that exists in the storybooks is never true.
She loves the lines of him.
Her.
"Are you listening?"
"… Yes," I say without much conviction.
