Turns To Dust

I ache to feel the bones that
are hidden under the skin, 
to touch them, break them, probe
the marrow that is hidden 
within their shell.  Watch the blood
discolor the skin, drip onto the floor 
like shards of glass, shards of my 
former self, shattered.  I want to watch
as the moonlight shines on what's 
left of me, the pieces I'll never fit back
together, like a broken mirror, a shadow 
of who I used to be that is fading
away, it doesn't belong in this world.
Watch as the hallow, empty 
shell of a person turns to dust
and the wind from an open window
carries it away.  All that's left
is an empty space; a void that
another will one day rise to fill.
A whisper, a half-forgotten memory, 
an echo of a shadow, the breeze
from a flutter of wings, the
dust being carried on the wind.

Here's my story

This is a lot. You don't have to read all of it. I just feel it's kind of fair to tell you this stuff. And I mean...you've been super honest with me. So it's my turn. You know my dad died when I was three. When I was four, my cousin's friend would come over after school. He was around 12 or 14. He molested me for years. It finally stopped when I was in 4th grade. The counselors came in the classrooms and showed us some videos about sexual abuse. There were three of us girls who came forward about what was going on with us. My cousin has always been upset with himself for not telling anyone when I told him. But I don't blame him. I learned long ago it was the boy’s fault. When I was 14, I had a boyfriend who tried to rape me. He hurt me physically and left bruises on me. I finally had to go to the principal at school but still, nothing happened to him. That was when I finally lost control and my depression came about. I cut myself for the first time in ...

I'm not okay, I promise

I am not okay.           You have no idea, honestly, of what goes on inside of me or inside my mind during those moments when I sit quietly or hide myself from the outside world. I am not okay.           You believe I can make it through anything, but you have no clue, I am not you, not as strong-minded as you, not as brave as you to keep pushing and moving through everything. I am not okay.           I miss my comfort zone, the feeling of being able to be numb, to not have to feel anything at all, where everything just disappears and even time just stands still. I am not okay.           I probably will not make it, but I promise that I will at least try so that I can say I gave it my best, and that I'm not a complete failure in your eyes even though I know that I truly am, I truly am a fuck up. I am not okay, I promise.

Emotional

Today I feel...sad, confused, alone, a little mad, a little jealous, and just bleh. I think it's a little bit of everything causing me to feel this jumble of emotions. I found out a coworker is pregnant and I felt like god or mother nature or whoever slapped me in the face. The day after I found out I cannot conceive without the help of a fertility specialist my coworker announces she is pregnant. Am I wrong to feel this way?  I know, I know, PCOS is not a "death sentence". Just because I'm not ovulating doesn't mean that I cannot have a baby. But it does make things just a tad bit frustrating and complicating.  "Here's a short list of what you can do to help while waiting to see the specialist".  1. Lose weight. Well, hallelujah, that's such a simple task, let me hop right on this! Oh, wait, already here. I've been trying to lose weight for, oh, I don't know, years? When you break your entire fucking leg and have to be non-weight b...
