star chaser
her tears taste like honeydew with a16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSixpBDTtKi
hint of extraterrestrial redshifting.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp226bwoPKJ
she walks with the grace of moonlight16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFOKomMZ8d
and has eyes like protostars.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qfA9nejPO
she’s not quite up to societal standards,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVSnu58IRt
and she lives in the future, not the past.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZPkuyA2DW
i still chase after her anyways,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLQwlNQM5h
tail wagging, tongue lolling like the dog i am.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r7ff93mxH

who taught you to hate?
“who taught you to hate your hair?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLeh4TdYsq
she did, with her idle remarks16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QEvUDdA0b
about how it would look better curled.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs3I6sy1c1
(i curled it into long ringlets.)16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bRXlnD7Lb
then she said it would be better short16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxIfv1nMNF
(i chopped it all off with a swiss army knife.)16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIvksbQfrZ
it’s been bleached, stained, and cut16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRKIBwQEYX
in all manners of ways.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqQuFOwR80
(still it was never enough.)
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX9UGTGDUl
“who taught you to hate your freckles?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhcpvsKmiS
she did, tracing constellations on my cheeks16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BEpEuscKM
with a permanent red sharpie until it looked like16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GcT3xktiU
i had wept thousands of scarlet tears.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUf3KQwtaL
(i spent all night scrubbing it to no avail.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AXF1A2QTi
she offered no help, only a faint smile at my struggles.)
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfAuxXllqY
“who taught you to hate your skin?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwmyb2xaQM
she did, with her languid tongue and16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxKAV29oho
knife-sharp jabs. too pale, not tan enough,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhhCiTwa6s
she said, running fingers down my arm,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMmJaahH4E
like a vampire, coming to suck blood.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhSzxUJfTU
(i dug my nails into what made up my outsides16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uAYJeJMaS
and tried to pry it off my very bones.)16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwTwmcdLGU
i’m was left with only scars.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnxzv8CAfy
“who taught you to hate your bones?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzlZfy5r69
she did in late nights spent curled together16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE7woX0d30
in the back of my pick up truck, poking16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNd3uorBP7
and prodding at my body, saying that16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl5ivEVynT
i must be pretty big-boned to weigh so heavy.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7UuFT81Ye
(i dug my fingernails into my thigh, peeling back flesh16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10JBnSHZKB
until i could claw away at the bone hidden beneath.)16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMIb1KkYCt
the hospital tutted and bandaged me up,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRR0iTUKjl
and stuck me into a small box with a self-proclaimed16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPArtfpZVU5
therapist whose only job was to make me feel worse.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Jx22lazT
“who taught you to hate yourself?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqbWYtSFT9

and sketchy answers. late night calls16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ouaSLJkQH
of ‘i love you’s’ and tired apologies16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG4TI95yL1
when it was never truly my fault.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgsFto5Iiy
she taught me to hate myself.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WolZMHVOe
