journal thirty-five.

not another one

think about how those will look when

you are older

if my body must carry

these scars

of my youth

and will be marked

by age why

can I not choose

what reminders

I carry why

can I not choose

art

– my body is a canvas and I will be the painter

Raw and unadulterated — this is how I typically feel things. And when I feel these things I think I feel, I write. My little pieces of comprehension have taken the form of words jumbled together on your screen. A masterpiece? Probably not, but welcome to glimpses of this incredible life I get to experience. I do hope you’ll stick around.
