Dishes

Summary:

Felt like sharing one of my first poems I wrote post gender acceptance.

My therapist really liked it.
I hope it let's people know they're not alone.

Work Text:

There are dishes in the sink. 

 

Did I take a shower yesterday?

 

Laundry needs done. 

 

I cried at work today. Yesterday? 

 

The days are blending together. 

 

I'm missing time. 

 

I'm tired. 

 

There's dishes in the sink. 

 

I'm overwhelmed. 

 

Things keep going wrong. 

 

I want better. 

 

I want easier. 

 

I am so tired. 

 

I'm hungry but I don't want to eat. 

 

I don't like my belly. 

 

I'm bloated and upset. 

 

My period is a reminder of what people expect. 



I messed up my bikes oil change. 

 

The mechanics didn't seal the oil cap? Do I have an oil leak? 

 

I shouldn't ride while I'm like this. I keep missing gears. 

 

I want my meds. 

 

I want to be held. 

 

I want to sob into someone who doesn't understand but I trust. 

 

I don't want to feel like this. 

 

I would rather feel nothing than feel like this. 

 

People keep calling me a girl. 

 

I keep telling them they're wrong but they don't do better. 

 

I am so tired. 

 

I deserve better. 

 

I want to sleep. 

 

I want to stop existing for a while. 

 

There are dishes in the sink. 

 

They've been there all week. 

 

I want something to go right. 

 

I want to be less afraid. 

 

I want things to be less dangerous. 

 

There are dishes in the sink.

♥️❤️
You're not alone in feeling like it's all too much.
it is too much sometimes.
it's okay.
you can start tomorrow.
you don't have to finish tomorrow.
