Surprise attacks

Accident

Knitted- external

Weighed down

Knowing - mother can

Deep - polyester telegram - hiding torment

Soul in half shock

Tears streaming flesh

burning skin

scars- given her

~

Pain - hurt again - need you

Cried - tears

Knew so well

Stain perfect body - can't say

Saying - compass, glass

Myself - mind screaming

Pick would

Only could

Pick, pick. Pick me. Pick me and tell

Dark - mind, chest, heart, skin - hands

Healed.

Chunk 1 and 2 of the monologue I'm learning. No, it's not the whole monologue, but what you've read are the notes helping me to learn it. They represent whole sentences!! Look at how my brain works! I only need broken pieces and it's fitting together. Only a few more chunks to go!

Brains are weird.
