i cannot drop a spoon
or step on a creaky stair
without apologizing
loud voices still trigger panic attacks
and my hands shake during scary movies
i sleep with the door locked
curled as closely to the wall as possible
whenever i apologize
it still feels like
"please don't hurt me."
i can't stop the voices
that constantly scream how
troublesome and useless
my existence is
because i'm nothing special,
not beautiful,
not talented,
not funny,
not smart.
i'm just an average girl
destined for an average life
for meaningless experiences
and afflictive opportunities,
for big dreams
and unimportant death
and that terrifies me
a lot.
