01.01.20 ashes on my hands / bile rises in my throat / choking out a scream*

01.02.20 slow on the sidewalk / ice cream in january / street lights to guide us*

01.03.20 i will plant my hope / in the garden of your heart / and pray it grows kind

01.04.20 i am too selfish / i don't want to marry you / i just want a night*

01.05.20 my body is weak / but i will become stronger / if only for you*

01.06.20 racking up the debt / another medical bill / unanswered questions*

01.07.20 he speaks, voice gentle / careful and considerate / peace for the hurting

01.08.20 objectify me / i promise i don't mind it / it's just what i need*

01.09.20 untempered anger / seething just beneath your skin / mars your pretty face

01.10.20 mania creeps slow / works its way into my bones / until i'm weightless

01.11.20 a breath; you exhale / smoke curls slow around your face / clouding your features*

01.12.20 closing yourself off / to the people who love you / doesn't make you cool

01.13.20 behind all your charm / i can see how you're hurting / desperate for love

01.14.20 i just want to sleep / not depressed just not resting enough / to be functional*

01.15.20 loud voice, slammed doors / anger is not leadership / fear is not success*
