[elainelorriemartin]

for the first time

i don’t want to

“fall in love with life a little more”

i want my blankets

to swallow me whole

to not have the responsibility

of being a ‘good person’

whatever that means

i want to scream at you

i want to argue

i want to plead our case

i want you to know

that i’m crying

inspite of acting strong

through a text message
