"I did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. I did not like to be touched because I craved it too much. I wanted to be held very tight so I would not break."
-Marya Hornbacher, Wasted
"I'm not used to being loved. I wouldn't know what to do."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, More Than Just A House
"I crave touch, yet I flinch every time someone is close enough."
-Via dollpeotry, "I have become rather fearful I suppose"

i am going to read a poem.
“Today I woke up I took a shower I washed my hair For a second I imagine life was fair Today I got dressed I left my house I walked around I pretend not to cringe at my own sound Today I felt a shove I felt their stare I had to stop and pray To speak to someone who wanted to hear what I had to say Today I didn’t have to run I made it home I will not weep I’ll hope tomorrow will come if I can find sleep” Read as Black Girl Read as Trans-man Read as Young Hijabi Read as Latino male ages 16-25 Read as Model Minority Read as Black Boy with 3.8 GPA from Detroit, or Chicago, or Compton Read as Non-passing Trans-woman Read as Mentally Ill Teen of Color Read as Low Retention Student at PWI Read as Other And Them The ones few would notice If there were no more If they didn’t come home So in doing all I can do I read this poem for you I am finished with this poem.
-pero.
