hey,
im not quite sure
how to say this.
ive typed it a hundred times
and deleted it
every time.
i like girls.
i don't quite know what that
changes for you --
but it doesn't change who ive
always been.
im still me.
still your daughter.
i just finally wanted to tell you
the truth about myself.
even if it's scaring the **** out of me.
especially if you don't understand,
i hope one day,
you'll still see me
the same.
just more...
whole.
more real.
and more
me.

but im not sending this.
im not ready.

Lyle
Sometimes I don't know who I'll be the next day
Will I be the girl who keeps everyone at bay?
or will I be the one
who is coming undone?
Sometimes I look at me
and I'm not sure what I see
am I a girl who is falling apart?
or am I someone who just needs life to start?
Sometimes I close my eyes
and I dream of a different life
But I know that whoever I am, whatever I may be
I will never stop longing to just be free.

i will not stop ever ever
i will run into grey skies
i will not stop ever ever
i will fight until it dies  
i will not stop ever ever
i will relentlessly wrestle with the knife
i will not stop ever ever
i will lustfully breathe all of life
i will not stop ever ever
i will almost drown in the river
i will not stop ever ever
i will cry but load the quiver
i will not stop ever ever
i will shoot it in the heart
i will not stop ever ever
i will refuse to restart
i will not stop ever ever
i will not look back nor slip
i will not stop ever ever
i will lay naked none to strip
i will not stop ever ever
i will let go of pencil turn to pen
i will not stop ever ever
I will not hurt myself again

i lie in small ways.
i say “i’m okay”
when i’m barely here.
not to deceive,
just to survive.
i let them see the edges
but not the bruise.
and i don’t know
how to hand them
the whole truth.
so this is the version i bring.

every time i walk into the dollar store,
i find my way to the crafts aisle.
i linger in front of the blades.
there is an exacto knife,
extra edges gleaming in plastic.

i stare too long.
but i’m not supposed to want this anymore.
so i keep walking.

i leave with a bag of rubber bands.
before i reach my car,
one is already tight on my wrist.

as i drive home,
there’s one hand on the wheel,
one hand snapping the band
again and again and again.

by the time i pull into the driveway,
the underside of my wrist is
red, swollen, stinging.

and i like it that way.
