I have trouble knowing when something begins and when it ends.
My brain’s a mess of memories and emotion stacking atop each other.

I’ve been feeling quite empty, lately.
I’ve been rattling on metal, but the cage makes no sound.

I wish I let myself be a kid.
There’s only so far wishing can take.

There's a saying that people start to notice the little things when they fall in love with someone.
Or, at least, that's what someone who's never committed a murder would say.

I’m not a suicidal person. But sometimes I’d look at myself in the eye and wonder: What if?
It’s 2 AM and nothing has been okay for a while.

At 8 years old all I had was a striped sock, a cherry-scented toy bracelet, and Orion's constellation a constant lingering flicker above my head.
I always thought it was my equivalent to the wedding ring my dad still keeps hanging around his neck.

There are days when I would catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, perpetual frown and furrowed brows and all, and wonder why I have so many walls up.
There’s ivy all over my body where the walls can’t hold.

Do you ever feel that strange urge to cry but no tears would come out?
Like a dam threatening to break.

Social media’s become something of a depressive drug to me.
It’s an addicting lonely feeling.

Ever since I was a kid I would always look up at the ceiling and wonder, “What would happen if this suddenly collapsed above me?”
Where would you run? Where would you go?

Behind every artist lies a revolutionary.
In every battle fought, every battle lost, every battle won.

Ten years ago, if a genie came up to me and asked me to make a wish, I’d wish to have the ability to make the world go away when I closed my eyes.
A letter to my mother.

I walked into a train car today and there was a weird energy in the place.
It’s like waiting for a pin to drop.

When my dad drove me to my first interview, he wished me luck by telling me to remember I’m still a kid.
A letter to my father.

Little girl, they say, why do you always walk like you're marching into battle?
Stop baring your teeth, stretch that pretty mouth up.
