I’m not Nice

Listen, I’ve tried to be the perfectly calm Audrey. The one that has it all together. The one who barely swears. The one who only has meltdowns behind closed doors. It only led to further suffering. Stifling my voice. My need for expression. I’m sorry if my expression hurts you, it’s not supposed to. If my expression is hurting you, just know how badly it’s hurting me to not be able to hold it in any longer. I don’t just tip over, I combust.
