I can't let anything be her fault, even if it was.
Especially if it was.

I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog's. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: "Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.

If I float, it will be on the ship I built with my own hands.

Even though trauma has a way of
becoming the wallpaper of my head,
watch me drag the art
out of my suffering.
Watch me plant seeds down my spine
and bloom into a garden of poetry
from every horrible thing that has ever
happened to me, all the nights my voice
turned to cement and I couldn't say anything-
Watch me build an empire from the ashes
of everything that tried to destroy me.
I am trying to both be happy and pay attention to the world around me. I do not know if it is possible to do both at the same time.
You were everything bright
and leaving.
In this room, every mistake I have
ever made meets up at my favorite coffee house.
