1.15am
Every night is a late night and every morning starts too soon. I have been completely exhausted.
Today I lay face-down on my bed listening to I'm On Fire.
I am pulled in every direction. I can't think and I think too much.
We sit on the porch and let the wind bully us. My hair sticks to my lips.
I pin pictures to my new walls. I eat too much because I'm terrified.
I paint my nails to pick it off. The moon is full and I feel it all.
I drive home by myself most nights, listening to the radio and serenely looping my fingers around the wheel, safe and familiar. I imagine I'm driving to the international departures bit of the airport. I never am.
I never know what I'm doing.
