star chaser
her tears taste like honeydew with a102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb1SPXU1ob
hint of extraterrestrial redshifting.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL4gnhJe5U
she walks with the grace of moonlight102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FdmbBC9SN
and has eyes like protostars.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9SiQo9T6
she’s not quite up to societal standards,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1DxE17Slb
and she lives in the future, not the past.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTymC3WgwLm
i still chase after her anyways,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmH8MTaPVf
tail wagging, tongue lolling like the dog i am.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxkbLiQcJg

who taught you to hate?
“who taught you to hate your hair?”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DtzpoFI9U
she did, with her idle remarks102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyH0C13R86
about how it would look better curled.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JPLV7txnI
(i curled it into long ringlets.)102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxcD2h3Ihc
then she said it would be better short102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByj2M0SLRX
(i chopped it all off with a swiss army knife.)102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX880WhGXUR
it’s been bleached, stained, and cut102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4fs0xpz06
in all manners of ways.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJNuLAQ1qo
(still it was never enough.)
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWMjDXT9Wr
“who taught you to hate your freckles?”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4wgO79vFv
she did, tracing constellations on my cheeks102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfp0lAHhJt
with a permanent red sharpie until it looked like102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGr1ONZnxr
i had wept thousands of scarlet tears.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYIsQLTF5H
(i spent all night scrubbing it to no avail.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNymJi6JwB
she offered no help, only a faint smile at my struggles.)
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7vTZhgqti
“who taught you to hate your skin?”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE13IqRAjED
she did, with her languid tongue and102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5LqEkrqlr
knife-sharp jabs. too pale, not tan enough,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tqd3XbzxL
she said, running fingers down my arm,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mBHihdMX9
like a vampire, coming to suck blood.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3lHVeSlUS
(i dug my nails into what made up my outsides102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNDUP915Tv
and tried to pry it off my very bones.)102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sdgIPjVMP
i’m was left with only scars.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMt378gs0I
“who taught you to hate your bones?”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58OOyeDRW6
she did in late nights spent curled together102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9UZLtrBFa
in the back of my pick up truck, poking102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaFYu8Q0QO
and prodding at my body, saying that102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsDk1mz7tj
i must be pretty big-boned to weigh so heavy.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxjpYbMHpn
(i dug my fingernails into my thigh, peeling back flesh102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfq7SDn1XB
until i could claw away at the bone hidden beneath.)102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1JRZeBPFw
the hospital tutted and bandaged me up,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlbfEPeDei
and stuck me into a small box with a self-proclaimed102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQIX7yVNEv
therapist whose only job was to make me feel worse.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUx5w9vOYX
“who taught you to hate yourself?”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPdA0yB3u
she did with her loaded gun questions102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zgo1xtkqw
and sketchy answers. late night calls102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tFM2lvwvK
of ‘i love you’s’ and tired apologies102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRFrkm4mVd
when it was never truly my fault.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaEP0ik9iO
she taught me to hate myself.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLREu2Znqu
(what is love if not another form of hate?)
