How Many People Will You Be Before You Can Be Yourself?

       I’ve been the child, naive and always in the way. I’ve broken everything I was told not to touch, so I was never entrusted with your love. I promised I’d be careful, I knew accidents happen, but you couldn’t risk it after seeing what I’d done to my piggy bank heart.

       I’ve been the skeptic, looking for the ‘why’ underlying every ‘just because’. Not far behind every ‘I love you.’ waddled a whispered ‘for now’. We held hands, but you couldn’t tether me to the present.

       I’ve been the brawler. I’ve had my share of black eyes and bloody knuckles in one-sided cage fights. But depression is still reigning champion. Maybe that’s because you’ve never bet on me.

       I’ve been my own jailer. A prisoner of my mind, I swallowed the key and begged for the sun, wincing and rolling over when it shone through my bars. But you were not afraid of my dark.

       I’ve been the daughter that was warned about your sons. Son’s who’d play hot potato with my faults, and I’d assumed, this was my own. Sons with shoulders and minds too narrow to carry my burden, so mine were always sore.

       You were the monster in your own closet. You grabbed your ankle through the basement stairs. The ever fleeting shadow in the corner of your eye, I fell in love the second you turned on the light.

Another Shot at Writing

Hey, everyone! So it’s literally been years since I’ve even been on here. I’m sure a ton has changed, but I’ve decided to creep out from under my rock and start writing again! I’ve found a ton of prompts in the time I’ve been away for some new motivation, but I will also be reposting some old writing to this blog. I lost access to my last tumblr as it used an email that is apparently no longer valid. 

I’ve actually had two accounts on here in the past, arewestill-thegoodguys being one of them. (I actually don’t remember the name of the blog before that, to be honest.) 

Anyway, I’m about to start moving some stuff over from the last blog and I hope you enjoy!

(PS, as far as a schedule goes, I’m TRYING to be more consistent, but I struggle with that, so I’ll post as often as I can!)
