I spent so long grasping at hopes and clutching what I thought was dear to me, that when I opened my hands and found them empty it didn’t kill me.
I know I used to be quite the crybaby when I was young. I wonder where along the line I lost that ability. I wonder when I lost so many things. Wonder who it was then and who writes these things now. Can I say I’ve already died? Something is wearing my past around its neck, and sometimes I think that only the willingness to die rather than be something instead of myself is what keeps it me. Sometimes I think the only thing I can call my own is how much I hate myself for what I’ve seen I’m capable of.

I can keep pretending we’re one.
Wondering what to think in order to fall asleep. Can’t tell if everything is lost in cacophony or if there isn’t anything to begin with. Both are worrying. Vacillating between wanting quiet and dreading it.

I’m trying to think more than just that.
Over and over and over and over
