I suffer from unrequited self love. I love myself, but I don’t Love myself back. - Andrea Gibson

I am whoever I am when I am it.

...It’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.

Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.

When your heart is broken, you plant seeds in the cracks and pray for rain.
