i bite my lip. pain floods through my vains, coming from the now raw skin on the back of my thighs.

i always try to wear really loose jeans so the denim doesn't completely destroy the slashes on my thighs.

today, all that were clean were skinny jeans.

i hobble as inconspicuously as possible into the store and grab a small push-around cart.

quickly, i check to make sure the money mother gave me is still in my pocket. anxiety flows through me extremely fast when i don't find it in any of my pockets.

a sense of relief washes over me as i realise that i tucked it below the sole of my shoe so i would drop it or get pickpocketed.
