do you hear the pounding against the cage inside my chest
do you hear the rattling of my heart tossed to one end then the next
the ripping sound it makes as it breaks and tears to pieces
the crimson that escapes as my suspiration ceases
you will not claim to be the cause of my pain
i will not offer you that honor
you will not hear my dreadful cries
the way my tears fall and destroy the earth like acid
how my breath gets caught inside the ragged holes inside my chest
you stretch, pull and tug until i’m worn thin
and glass shards now protrude my skin
i was already broken when you found me

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
