I don’t think I’ve been myself since I was 10

I was myself until I wasn’t

Learning how unacceptable I was in interactions over time

Noticing the disapproving looks on their faces

My window of safety and love grew smaller as I grew older

So small that I didn’t realize when I disappeared

My body lined with cuts and bruises

Desperate attempts at finding where I had gone

I think I almost forgot what being loved felt like

Until someone stuck around
