what was the turning point?
when were you first so wronged that you stopped trusting
when did you stop feeling butterflies when you got crushes
when did you stop laughing so hard you couldn't breath
when did you stop asking questions just because you were curious
when did you first settle for safe
when did you decide you tried your hardest to chase your dreams
when did judging people become second nature
when did you close yourself off
when did new ideas become scary
when did trying to do better become too much
when did you stop thinking like a child

Dead Asleep
At 23, I moved out of my parents’ old house, finally on my own, free. Even though I was moving into a tiny studio apartment, the euphoria of escaping that oppressive house was liberating. The strange experiences and nightmares my sister Eva and I had painfully endured as children in that house faded into the past; after her funeral, I suspected it had something to do with those nightmares. I never wanted to go through that again.
