This poem doesn’t hold as much truth as it did when I first wrote it. Right now, I am working on different things, under a different mindset. Nonetheless, this is my honest poem, kids. Hope you enjoy it.
I’m a Sagittarius.
which means
I love to travel.
But I’ve noticed that traveling has made me feel like I never had a real home to begin with....I've become really good at making any place,
Or person
Feel like a safe space I can lay my head for a while.
I’m really good at remembering faces,
I’m working on being bad at that. People find it weird when you stare and don’t share what’s on your mind.
I get anxious when people know my name before I know theirs...I tend to think my acknowledgment is something I have to earn overtime.
I’ve kept my mind hidden for most of my life. Maybe because I’m the youngest of four and whenever I tried to talk I was considered annoying and a bore.
So, I listened more.
I don’t really like to talk.
but I love to write.
I consider these two things completely different. One is a choice, the other is a means of survival.
My favorite things to do should not be my favorite things to do. It includes distance, self-harm, and smiling at people that don’t smile back.
I’m starting to believe family is a 24/7 job with unlimited benefits.
I have spent too much of my time searching for part-time people that make me feel like I'm paying for their presence.
I have major trust issues...blame Drake.
Music is my favorite way to talk. I think it speaks volumes my own voice can never reach. I would love to take a walk with Amy Winehouse and learn how she talks.
Hi,
my name is Christine.
I think addiction and homelessness are some of the most humane experiences a person can go through.
...and I think love drives us all crazy.
You see, love,
Love has always been a foreign concept in my life. It takes too long to acquire citizenship and I’m over it before it even starts.
