MAYBE 
I shouldn't write 
in the DAYLIGHT 

I SEEM to be
SMARTER
at NIGHT 

PLUS 
especially since I have been 
dealing with my mom
on the regular 

I SEEM to 
DEFAULT to 
EVERYTHING is probably 
MEANT as a CRITICISM 

it is AMAZING 
WHAT 
I can make into an ATTACK 

THAT
is ANOTHER thing 
I've REALLY 
GOT 
to get
UNDER CONTROL 

the SALIENT point
about the HORSE as it relates to 
TRAUMA is
my understanding of the motivations and needs
of the HORSE

there's a WAY 
in which I need to
REVERSE
anthropomorphize

PEOPLE are just ANIMALS 

without as much agency as I ascribe MAYBE 

BUT 
LIKE when sister cathy accused me of
not caring about anyone else 
& my analysis of it
it didn't make SENSE to me but I could ascribe the

DESIRE to HURT ME
SO
I was HURT 
THAT she was trying to HURT me

I THINK this is
CRITICAL to my
PROCESS 

AND
I think I am NOT LIKE completely 
THERE

BUT 
there's a 
LEVEL of SOMETHING 

that I feel like I understand about myself 
& my relation to other people 

I keep approaching people 
with this SETTING 
that isn't 
GROUNDED 
in MY STRENGTH 
somehow 

I can't explain it 
it's LIKE 

I'm TOO 
PERMEABLE

THAT is GREAT 
for some cosmic something 
BUT 
LESS good

if you're dealing with 
ANIMALS 

& AGAIN 
I'm NEEDING to SEE people as
MUCH LESS able to
SEE INTO 
ME

than I think is
NORMAL 

BECAUSE I have 
SOME WEIRD 
ABILITIES 

that I want the other people to be able to match 
& PROBABLY 

they just CAN'T 
& NOW

I've made myself 
SAD

PROBABLY 
I should ONLY write 
AFTER
I've spent a whole day thinking about it
