“Please dont expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”
— Sylvia Plath

This Morning: A Thread (TW: Suicidal ideation)
My brain: Ugh, not again
How and why am I still alive?
Because I just fell asleep, it's normal

I don't want to be here.
I cannot unalive myself here. I need to wait until I can.
I need to study, get my degree, get a job, start living alone.
Only then will I be able to end it.
Alone, alone, alone.
Yes, only a few more years.
Let's start the day.
— In the Future, Jay Hulme, in '100 Queer Poems, an anthology' (2022)

I belong to none,
not these extended hands,
the rosey skies,
or the bloodied battlegrounds in my name.
I belong to none other than myself
but know not which one in particular
I may not love myself on most days
but I definitely would not let you either.
