bare

i'm tearing down all the personality from the walls of my room

all of the sticky notes with my favorite quotes

all of the silly drawings

all of the markings of memories because i don't want to remember

i'm putting it all in a box and sealing it in the back of my closet where no one can see it, including myself

i don't want to see remnants of the old me

everyone expects me to be the same as i was,

and i cant pretend that i am anymore
