what was once ours shatters into
something unrecognizable.
why does society push us so quickly into forfeiting our own autonomy?
the first thing we are ready to give up is the one thing we truly own.

by Gianna Golino
I relapsed—
After my shift
Rushed to the bathroom
Purged it all out
I hate this brain
That makes me hurt myself
I'm just so tired
Of never feeling worthy
Always second choice
Not valued, passed over
