December 5, 2019I can’t breath. The fluorescent lights shine through my eyelids. There’s a hand squeezing mine urging me to stay calm. There’s beeping and shouting and a dull scraping pain from inside me. I’m panicking, hyperventilating, my body is going into shock. We’re losing herYou need to breath. A coldness creeps into my bones, … Continue reading The Story I Never Told

I don’t understand how it got this way. A little girl with big eyes and big dreams wouldn’t recognize herself … Continue reading Blank

I’m back on top, confident now that I won’t be stopped. My cut off is 27, I’ll say it till I die. The blessings have been flooding in and I’m grateful, I don’t cry. I can breath without telling myself I have to, I feel the warmth in my bones flood through. I cut the … Continue reading Revival
