but if they love me,
they stay quiet.
because the thought
of them breaking my heart
is enough to suck the
words from their tongues.

find a home away from home for yourself, whether it be the gym floor, the computer lab, or the auditorium stage. you will need one.

there will be days where you look in the mirror and want to remold your body like clay, days where you may not even want to get out of bed. on those days, it's okay to cry, to want to be different. but the next morning, remind yourself; you will be okay, you will be okay, you will be okay
