hint of extraterrestrial redshifting.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t33mE3OJR
she walks with the grace of moonlight18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdxl9Yvdyl
and has eyes like protostars.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ807Zj28gs0
she’s not quite up to societal standards,18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzus9f99lG
and she lives in the future, not the past.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbmAGoGPTv
i still chase after her anyways,18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRScHTMeal

about how it would look better curled.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM984W2LSgM
(i curled it into long ringlets.)18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0f5kKyJAl

(still it was never enough.)
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj1YnsFxdA
“who taught you to hate your freckles?”18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUFdPDQi5v
she did, tracing constellations on my cheeks18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpjGWlwyJt
with a permanent red sharpie until it looked like18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPt9VQawDB
i had wept thousands of scarlet tears.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFNLHvQapk
(i spent all night scrubbing it to no avail.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T8HWEEtNz
she offered no help, only a faint smile at my struggles.)
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HWeiJKKVJ
“who taught you to hate your skin?”18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam9GaXQFrU
she did, with her languid tongue and18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto5QDHPRpY
knife-sharp jabs. too pale, not tan enough,18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov8mjH6aVa
she said, running fingers down my arm,18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTBTiPv4u
like a vampire, coming to suck blood.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXg4MURTL
(i dug my nails into what made up my outsides18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDrgLqkxd3
and tried to pry it off my very bones.)18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzHYnnKF3W
i’m was left with only scars.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA4drgvcj1
“who taught you to hate your bones?”18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4NMBk1DeW
she did in late nights spent curled together18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHvdl1Fnvn
in the back of my pick up truck, poking18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81y8QL8LHD
and prodding at my body, saying that18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDj3RsxmAd
i must be pretty big-boned to weigh so heavy.18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEKeRiyMD2
(i dug my fingernails into my thigh, peeling back flesh18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40R3QGyM7A
until i could claw away at the bone hidden beneath.)18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uWUrRfgoM
the hospital tutted and bandaged me up,18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nn6EoUtIE

therapist whose only job was to make me feel worse.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpNSzVktk4
