Dear
Deer who?
Why won't my pen do this?
know why?
no why?
Everything is like watching myself in a mirror
My eyes are tired of mirror-watching me
My eyes are tired but my hand is trying.

My brain is thinking of some 1.
It is thinking of U.
Me + U
My brain can't stand it
Anymore
4 yr is a long time. 4 yr is 4ever.
All it thinks about is U.
Or THEM.
Don't think about THEM, brain.
Just think about U.

U if it K1775 me. No I can stop me.
43 can't stop me. 543 can't stop me.
There are 2 many things 2 write.
2 many.
My hand will write I THING.
Some THING my brain thinks about.
My brain had a nowhere dream 4 20 nights.
My body was nowhere. It was dusty, smelly, old.
My eyes saw a book on a shelf It was Ur book.
My fingers found a letter inside.
The letter was from U.
It was so real my ears heard the envelope crackle. My nose could smell Ur perfume.
But the dream stopped be4 my eyes could read the letter + now my brain doesn't dream this dream anymore.
What was inside the letter? What did U want 2 tell me?
My hand wrote 2 many things (maybe it's the pen's fault).

My brain wants 2 remember everything about it.
The cashier w/the Janice nametag waited on me. She was wearing a T-shirt that said (2 me) 170V3 Rick. My brain was wondering what it would be like 2 be Rick. My brain was playing crazy thoughts. Only Janice 70V35 Rick, not me. A me w/o U.

Dear XXXXX,
My hand wrote Ur name (even if the pen crossed it out). Then the pen drew a box around each letter + wrote every
letter of the alphabet on top of each letter in Ur name just 2 make sure no I can tell what was there.
Just, in case.
Writing Ur name was like seeing Ur face + holding Ur hand. Like talking 2 U again, breathing Ur air. It makes me feel scared. My hand was shaking. My brain was thinking about doing this 4 a long time. My hand decided 2 be a little braver + try this. My hand is going 2 TRY.
2 be braver.
My brain thought about starting (really starting) this NB every day. Could U tell? Writing this is like trying 2 walk after being in a coma since birth. Maybe not birth. Maybe just 4 4 yr. Writing this is like.trying 2 talk after having my mouth taped shut 4 4 yr. My hand can't write things that easy. It feels funny. My hand doesn't know what 2 write.
No.
My hand knows what 2 write but the pen won't let it. Do U understand?
Do U?
What my hand wants 2 write is hard 2 write What the pen won't write U is
Maybe my brain could think thoughts 2 U w/o talking + U would know them. But it doesn't know how. All it knows how 2 do is think in secret code. My hand writes secret code 4 some words. Maybe the pen will let me write a secret code just 4 U.
What could my code be? OK what about this?
The code is: 1M155U.
1 M155 U. Do U understand it? Here's another: 170V3U.
Now my brain says 2 hide this from THEM.
Maybe there will be more 2morrow if my hand has something 2 say.
