star chaser
her tears taste like honeydew with a123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRm1MeR7hG
hint of extraterrestrial redshifting.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZQqIwBLh4
she walks with the grace of moonlight123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb7WwFBAhO
and has eyes like protostars.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwt6hi5o0o
she’s not quite up to societal standards,123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KdyWNJQ7
and she lives in the future, not the past.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavhEXvC47i
i still chase after her anyways,123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v7wMYmfCO
tail wagging, tongue lolling like the dog i am.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl7Gb4Kmjm

who taught you to hate?
“who taught you to hate your hair?”123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfZxHimzW
she did, with her idle remarks123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82tcmlE2fB
about how it would look better curled.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTtQ3Obghg
(i curled it into long ringlets.)123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItjHfJukGh
then she said it would be better short123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXFoQifcnE
(i chopped it all off with a swiss army knife.)123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKBPOXYbLJ
it’s been bleached, stained, and cut123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7IQpb4fC
in all manners of ways.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDRtlXX7rJ
(still it was never enough.)
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa53ZV2xHH
“who taught you to hate your freckles?”123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qX59LNSdd
she did, tracing constellations on my cheeks123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQPkKwUWZG
with a permanent red sharpie until it looked like123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N2pXjpIJF
i had wept thousands of scarlet tears.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYFxb2Uw0y
(i spent all night scrubbing it to no avail.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB2EuG6whF
she offered no help, only a faint smile at my struggles.)
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtsoxU2atC
“who taught you to hate your skin?”123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HygCPlXJF
she did, with her languid tongue and123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytbk0BYkR2
knife-sharp jabs. too pale, not tan enough,123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Xd3nV14w
she said, running fingers down my arm,123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf1iFQ1L7R
like a vampire, coming to suck blood.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrn0fgeoz7
(i dug my nails into what made up my outsides123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLaMPBxoRz
and tried to pry it off my very bones.)123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgbrFIkj1L
i’m was left with only scars.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwbF1db0EB
“who taught you to hate your bones?”123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ipl2iFMdo
she did in late nights spent curled together123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTqnT1WlVV
in the back of my pick up truck, poking123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ537fnNl7ew
and prodding at my body, saying that123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qn3bXFFtE
i must be pretty big-boned to weigh so heavy.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj1IBqKV9L
(i dug my fingernails into my thigh, peeling back flesh123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcQ8AvZvJQ
until i could claw away at the bone hidden beneath.)123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkI1FaVp9l
the hospital tutted and bandaged me up,123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXVoCLkQRh
and stuck me into a small box with a self-proclaimed123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp8JAagiyu
therapist whose only job was to make me feel worse.
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSiNP9YWuV
“who taught you to hate yourself?”123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB2eapgAb8
she did with her loaded gun questions123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNkLiNsGtG
and sketchy answers. late night calls123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXqSpmEV68
of ‘i love you’s’ and tired apologies123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON2YFHmVVF
when it was never truly my fault.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHGk9DABs4
