As I'm getting older, I'm starting to lose my understanding of love. Love used to be more simple and understandable, but now my head cannot really picture it clearly.

Amy Lowell, from A dome of many-coloured glass; “Before the Altar”

[Text ID: “I pour my heart and watch it burn,”]

Girlhood is much like the exorcist- cursing,

Masturbating, and disobeying your mother.

Smoking candy cigarettes as a child 

You can't wait to be cool.

Grow breast.

Show off a belly ring and have sex to the first real crush.

I played with the hem on my skirt when I was first touched between my legs.

A teenage dirtbag  treating me like raw poultry in a freezer and my mother kept forgetting to thaw me out in the morning.

I wore my body like my grandmother's favorite pearls. Injected venom into my girl wounds.

Then in the 3rd act. vomitting  with a spinning head. Some men like to slap around. Leave you in an abortion clinic. Like a fleabag dog left at a pound.

Shave you

make you look in a mirror to find you.

All that the blood you wash off was never yours. You were just taught that it was.

DEPRESSION ISN’T BLUE

it’s a blood orange

The overripe wilting heaviness. The leaking juice in your palm. The tang of it all.
