The Present Tense

About Me

20. Jersey. New York City girl stuck in the suburbs. Out of sight out of mind. I'd leave but I get homesick for ideas I had of what the word home used to mean. I've been missing half of who I am my whole life. I guess I've got good balance.

Every boy that's ever fallen in love with me or called me beautiful has never really seen my insides turned out. You like me silent and spiteful. I'm sorry I couldn't lie to you. Four letter words ruin everything.
