Hair appointment. Studio
portrait. More shopping.
I wish I could be excited
about it. But all I want to do
is hole up in my room with a little
borrowed liquor and think
about ways to be with Bryce.
It wasn’t so hard when school
was still in. But this week
will offer many challenges
as far as spending time
together. Sneaking out
when Grandfather passes
out is the only way I know.
PILFERING BOOZE
Sneaking out.
Hooking up with
Bryce for sex.
I can’t believe this
is me I’m talking
about. It’s like I’m
on a runaway train.
I want to jump off
but it’s not slowing
down and taking
that leap would
kill me for sure.
And the wonderful
irony is I used to
think about dying.
