l i t t l e n o t e s

be careful what you say

my palms glistened with the dew of my anxiety

i was caught in a moment of terror

i feared never feeling good enough

i feared they'd find out

my heart beat hit my chest, harder each time

my breaths were shallow, i was lost in my mind

the words they spoke were unintended for me, but they cut like knives across my skin

this was why i hid

so that they could never say i was selfish 

at least not to my face
