me at 36
i’m 36
crying and triggered
remembering when i was 8
remembering my stepfather
remembering the warnings that went unheard
remembering the pleas for help went unanswered
remembering the fear
remembering the confusion
remembering the choice to force myself to forget
remembering
crying
writing
remembering
crying
and writing more
desperately hoping that all this is somehow also healing
it’s my birthday and my family are watching me breakdown
i am stoned on weed
valium
memory
and music
tears
my ink
pain
my pen
words
my voice
… it’s time to blow out the candles and make a wish
perhaps i’ll live to wish another …
