Things I Wish I Could Tell My Mother

One

My virginity, honey, it's been gone and no, not to the person you think

Two

I am on the brink of losing, loving, and transforming myself

Three

I think you wanna come with me

Three

I wish I wanted you to

Four

There's nothing more immature than getting up to slam the door

becasue our downstairs neighbors slammed the door first

Five

We hate each other because you're a die-hard Scorpio and I, a Gemini.

Six 

I used to dream of you sticking your hand down my throat 

It hurt so much I woke up crying into my grandmother's pillow

Seven 

I never stopped having that dream

Seven

I wish I'd stop having that dream

Eight

You can not stop me from pursing my dreams, no matter how ugly or difficult my path may be

Nine

Stop calling me skinny, I've eaten today

Ten

You never listen when I try to speak
So now it's time for me to leave
