Today several of you anonymously sent me your own private thoughts and secrets. I made a poem out of several (but not all) of them by pairing related secrets and thoughts; they are placed next to one another. Each line is made up of one individual thought.
This is the result.
I believe in reincarnation.
I am scared of what comes after death.
I want to be confident with my body so badly, but I can’t help but hate it.
My body is a ghost and I have yet to perform an exorcism.
My dad died today.
Fathers should not leave.
I have sex with my friends and it makes me feel strong
I believe sex is the most beautiful master piece there is.
I am a bisexual girl who is also a boy at times and that confuses and shames me greatly.
I wanna touch girls so much more than I wanna touch boys.
I used to think I didn’t want children; I think I want them now.
I left my kids and have been hated ever since.
I’m straight, dammit. Accept it.
Most of my anxiety stems from being in the closet.
I believe in being alive.
Would it be best if I just disappeared?
