A List of Things I Cannot Say Out Loud

Location

1. I am beautiful.

2. I don't owe anyone anything.

3. I am trapped inside the cesspit of destruction that is my mind.

4. I love people; they take my sadness away.

5. I have been sad for a very long time.

6. I thought I could be happy.

7. I thought you could make me happy.

8.  I deserve an apology.

9. I deserve the world.

10. I just want....

 

I just want something.

Something real.

I'll let you know what it is.

If I can find it.
