  • trauma (response)

    I suppose I should start at the beginning. Hello, my name is…unimportant. Or at least that’s how I feel. I lay in waiting for people I feel I can manipulate. That’s what I tell myself.

  • traverse.

    To be in a state of mind where you don’t want to die but you don’t want to live To traverse the line between life and death. Breathe in hate and exhale frustration. To be unsure of the future, afraid of the present, and haunted by the past. I don’t envy people in this state…
