Me Trying To Communicate With The Fbi Agent That Monitors Me

the dark

Maybe it’s better to have the terrible times first. I don’t know. Maybe then, you can have, if you live, a better life, a real life, because you had to fight so hard to get it away⸺you know?⸺from the mad dog who held it in his teeth. But then your life has all those tooth marks, too, all those tatters and all that blood.

James Baldwin  This morning, this evening, so soon  

“this doesn’t compare to the feel of your skin”

(You’ve chosen to not remember this part.)

i’m not sure i’m capable of being loved right now / i feel safe in my quiet way of living and telling my secrets to thread & paper / i don’t know what i’d say if you asked me to know myself / more

5 years ago i was a fucking mess & now i’m a fucking mess but at peace with it and with cooler fashion sense
