You go away from home to find yourself. I took sips and then I took gulps. I poured this down my throat and the edges of the earth blurred.

I lost bits of myself on the street.
A piece of oil on the concrete; a tiny sliver when I kissed you.

You don't find yourself. You walk around pretending to be an adult and you leave bits of yourself in boys mouths.

And they take part of you into their palms.
