eros is bullshit: a poem
the theory that people
are always searching for
their other half is
bullshit.
don’t let anyone, not
even a god, tell you
you are anything less
than whole.
i quite like myself slouched over a television with a broken remote, pale skin alive with glowing colours at 3:33 in the morning
i think i am at my best when i am hovered over the kitchen sink just after dark running hot water over my raw fingers
i feel great when i am sprawled across my bed crying before i even wake up sun pushing, unwanted, through a dirty window
i am very happy with who i am i say aloud in the car all alone while i consider driving into a tree i am very happy with who i am
You Better Not Cry by Augusten Burroughs
