I am realising, more and more, that my self is fragmented.
There are parts of my psyche
that I have killed because they were problematic.
And yet now, I miss them.
I wish for them.
The fragments that still remain,
I want nothing to do with.
I am tired of being anxious.
I am tired of feeling the imagined pains of others.
I am tired of feeling helpless.
I am tired of keeping shut when I want to scream,
and knowing that this silence
is nothing good,
is destructive.
That this silence is going to kill me one day, piece by piece.
I am tired of being told who to be.
As if, the plain old me
is not sufficient,
As if I can't decide who I want to be.
I just want a little space
in which, I get to be whoever I want to be.
