1996 - I am born into a world I will grow to hate. I am crying. 1997 - You are born into a world that will lend itself to you. Your smile lights the sun. 2001 - I fall off my bike trying to run away from home. My knee stings. 2004 - You’re climbing trees with your friends. The height makes you feel closer to God. Your palms sting. 2007 - I discover eyeliner and rim my eyes until they burn. My soul searches for things that feel familiar. This means I wear all black. 2012 - You discover turquoise and want all of your t-shirts in that colour. It’s bright and reflects the joy in your heart. 2014 - I visit New York City for school. I dream of slipping away and staying forever. No one would notice I was gone. 2015 - You visit every city you can get your passport on. You want to see it all, and return the love the world gave you. 2016 - I have lost control of myself. The world that has thrown me around in the wind for twenty long years finally begins to win. I lose my grip. 2016 - My best friend is a bottle. I forget what fun is. 2016 - I allow myself to be taken advantage of because being wanted makes me feel powerful. 2016 - My mother tries to murder me for the third time in my life but for some reason it’s not okay anymore. 2016 - My hands shake when people yell and sudden movements make me seize. 2016 - I am spiralling. 2016 - Without my consent, my soul cries for help. Jesus is there. 2016 - My soul is bound so quickly I’m not sure the wounds were ever there. 2016 - I throw myself into the world and I understand suddenly the love you’ve always felt. 2016 - We collide. 2017 - I am born again into a world that I will grow to love. 2017 - You offer me some of your light, but it’s okay. I have my own.
