I haven't felt right ever since I left the Bronx this weekend. I haven't slept for over an hour in 3 days, which in total was only 40 minutes of sleep.. in 3 days. My skin doesn't feel like mine, it's all oily and itchy, and I just wanna rip it off. Sleeping in my bed doesn't feel right, without holding one of the cats. I can't hear my mom callin' me for breakfast, I hear "[DEADNAME], WAKE UP AND GET YOUR FUCKING ROOM DONE!". There aren't any little bastards annoying me. There's no edible food around anymore. I don't ever feel the right to ask for anything, and instead just put my offers to my siblings. I don't feel tired, and am willing to sleep. I keep feeling the need to get high, and get drunk. I feel alone, as if I don't have the comfort of the air. The scent of dog and play dough isn't here anymore, instead it's the scent of the smoke I produce, and the alcohol I drink. I don't feel like I can walk and go anywhere without the judgement of others...
It's almost like.. New York isn't where I belong. I belong in the Bronx. A place where my real family is... where the annoying bastards can wake me up, and steal the kittens from my sweater. Where the dogs jump on my lap, and lick the shot outta my face. Where I can say something, and not be told it's my fault. Where I don't feel the need to be numb.
And most importantly..
It's where I feel.. Home.
