telegram from the inside (part two) - annie hex

from as it happens by Annie Hex

lyrics

2.
This time 4 years ago, I took everything out of my closet + lined the floor with pillows and blankets. I needed somewhere to hide- where I wouldn't be judged. Where no one could touch me. Or need me. I wanted to go unseen. But I AM SO BIG. I rarely go unnoticed. Unbothered.

I lived in a place called LOUDER HOUSE + for once, I just wanted to be quiet. Being this LOUD in this queer survivor body is a responsibility. I can't escape my flamboyance. This vulnerability. My own aching presence.

4 years later, we come back to the closet. The vault. But this time, the door is open. And you get to see inside what wanted to hide. She turned on every light. Came out in brilliant colors. Came out an honest mess. A melted ballerina in a jewelry box still dancing.
