Me

My therapist tells me to write more.

Isn’t it your outlet, she asks

But I always falter when I start something, let my cursor hover, blinking

Blinking

And then I leave it

I don’t know what to say

Today as I obsess again over all the things I should have said right

It occurs to me how continually unsettled I am in my own skin

How I shrug and pull and

Nothing is comfortable, or isn’t for very long

I try to drink less but I am happiest just slightly buzzed, just that much less conscious of every racing thought

I don’t know how to be me
