if you could, would you walk with me?
I shape myself with handy labels but fail to paint myself whole. Perhaps I am simply fractured tidbits and snippits of trivia. What may matter: I am 25. Lesbian. Feminist. Dianic. A sexual abuse survivor. Tattooed and pierced. Every adjective and many, many adverbs.

| bookofdreams profile - diary |
| comments: Words trapped in the most free sense: kept by choice, by passion, by desire. |
