Small Game

It seemed to her now that the more people acted like they knew you, the less you existed. They built you a shell and didn’t care if it fit.
“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”

“What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.”

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”

“Today, I slept in until 10,
Cleaned every dish I own,
Fought with the bank,
Took care of paperwork.
You and I might have different definitions of adulthood.
I don’t work for salary, I didn’t graduate from college,
But I don’t speak for others anymore,
And I don’t regret anything I can’t genuinely apologize for.
And my mother is proud of me.
I burnt down a house of depression,
I painted over murals of greyscale,
And it was hard to rewrite my life into one I wanted to live
But today, I want to live.
I didn’t salivate over sharp knives,
Or envy the boy who tossed himself off the Brooklyn bridge.
I just cleaned my bathroom,
did the laundry,
called my brother.
Told him, “it was a good day.”
