Brooke BeardI hate who I am as a person sometimes
The way I fiercely love and can't get along
Won't get along. Couldn't.
The way the teacher was never a teacher at all
The way the bond was always so fragile
The way I hang on to it wrapped around my arm like a leash on a prey driven dog. One sudden movement and I'm face-first on the cement. The way I thought I had things in the bag and how very mistaken I was. And how afraid I am.
