Life Of A Part-Time Mermaid

"when you threw me to the wolves that night,
did you think they’d find me easy to swallow?
you’ve loved me more than the others; you know i claw and scream on the way down.

of course i bit back. i learned to love the moon.
i wore wolf skins as easily as my own.
i growled at death and watched him run.

please know that if you feel the hair rise on the back
of your neck, sense a shadow in the bathroom
mirror, find eyes in the thick of night, i am here.

i do not hunger after you.
i imagine you’ll taste exactly as i remember: sour, chalky, gritty. dirt under my nails.
i will be bored of this form soon.

i suggest next time, you try feeding me to dragons. — A STUDY IN SURVIVAL | m.c."

Me
I've been broken, I've loved and I've been hurt. A best friend, a hard worker, a loyal lover. I am simply human.

I've never been normal, god how cliche that sounds. I wasn't a normal kid, I wasn't a normal teen. I can't say I'm a normal adult, hell I can't even claim to be an adult.
The other day in personalities class he had us look at an inkblot and all I could think of was "That's either a puppy or a rib cage...". Later on Dr.B told us that if you saw an animal, according to that it was thought that you were immature, and if you saw severed body parts then you were thought to be a bit disturbed. Where exactly does that put me?

I am insanely dependent. Not in an "Oh god if you leave I'll kill myself" sort of way, more so in a way that I like having a partner in crime. I like having someone to confide in that's my best friend who keeps my secrets and has the same sense of humor I do. Whether that be relationship, friendship, or both is irrelevant. I hate making choices, I hate feeling second best. I don't know where I got this insane need to always be number 1. The best kisser you've ever had, the best friend you've ever known, the person you've loved the most. There's just something in me that always feels insanely let down when I don't know I'm the best, I'm number one and theres no one better. Of course it's not realistic, it's never going to be realistic. But god the feeling is awful when I know it's not true.

I know I'm not my s/o's favorite. I know I'm not the person they have loved more than anything in their life. I know I'm not my best friend's number 1 friend. And that kills. I don't know how that started. I don't know what prompted it or why. Then again I don't know what really prompted anything I do, it's just one of those things that exist.
