20 years [old] of mistakes.
-------
I once had 2 poetry books.
1 was blue, it was the lighter, happier poems.
1 was red. They were violent, deep, hurtful poems.
My parents discovered them at around 14.
They took me to a psychiatrist. One who took offense to one of the poems in particular about “hanging balls on a Xmas tree.”
The books are now destroyed,and so was my hope for writing for a very long time. I have just recently started, very slowly, to begin to write again.

I don’t remember why I started taking pictures, or where. They just are, as I am.

blinking red blinking red / secure me, security / I’m drowning in this water, but its the only way I can breathe. / Yesterday I knew my name, today I can only think of yours.
