Young
Tearing up journal pages.
Then cleaning my room to feel better.
Organizing my closet.
I hate my clothes, but I hate everything, anyway.
When I was young and depressed.
It all made sense to me.
Crying in my room as I dust and vacuum.
Because my mom would walk in and tell me how good I was today.
How everything is spotless and perfect in this world.
When I was young and depressed.
When I was young and-
I cried a lot.
I never made mistakes.
Then I did and lied about it.
Then I cried more.
I would keep a journal.
I wish I kept those journals.
They were filled with lies.
