My
brain
wants
to
“
fix
”
my
ragged
cuticles,
the
sharp
edges
of
my
nails
,
so
it
creates
a
compulsion
I
can
’t
ignore
and
I
tear
myself
apart
every
single
day
.
Does
your
brain
do
the
same
when
you
look
at
me
?
Are
you
tortured
by
all
the
ways
I
’m
broken
?
All
my
“fixing”
leaves
me
with
fingers
that
drip
blood
into
the
twisted
hem
of
my
shirt
.
All
this
fixing prevents
wounds
from
closing
.
I
don’t
want
to
be
fixed
anymore
.
I
want
to
sleep
long
enough
to
heal
.
