i do not want you
to lower your head
and flutter your eyelashes across my scars.
i do not want you to brush your lips over them
while whispering "pretty, pretty, pretty"
or apologising
like you are a mouthpiece for the world--
like the world did this to me.
i do not want you to cover them in compliments
so that you don't have to look straight at them.

there are monsters inside of me.
i do not want you to love them.
full title: the ugliest parts of me are not something you can kiss away

forgot to upload this

it's reactionary and untrue and all true and none of it matters anyway because "i am" statements are impossible

not writing a whole lot lately but it's always here first

I always hate trying to compliment you because I feel my words can never match the impact of what you have written.  Those last lines are to die for.  I feel them resonate within me.
