What we don’t want to see
Let me peel it up
Let me peel it off
Please God
Let me take a knife to myself
And chop chop chop

Trash came on Thursdays
I knew this
I planned for this
When I picked up my life
Snuck outside
And tossed it out
Waiting for someone to come and stop me
But trash came on Thursdays
It was a routine
That I knew
And planned for
It was a routine
That my family knew too
So of course
No one came to stop me
From ruining my own life
Days seem endless
Nights never long enough
Mistakes climb higher
And topple me to the ground
Why did I do this?
Regret was never so instant
Blink, blink, blink and I’ll miss it
It will be gone
But no, no
Its still here
Blink, blink, blink and I’ll wake up
And return to reality
But no, no
I cannot hide from this
You see me
You see me
And I,
I see you
No no no no
“No noNo!”
Louder
Meaner
“Please, I don’t like it when you yell”
Sorry sorry
“Sorry I’ll-“
Do better
“I’ll-“
Be better
“I’ll-“
Movement
Sound
Shirt on my skin
Nono no
No nonono
“NononONO!”
Too much
It’s too much
No
Stop it
Please
I don’t like it when I yell
I’m sorry
“Okay” they say
I breathe in
I breathe out
Lights flicker on, off
In my side view
A fan hums, constant
Noise in my ears
Something flys by, lands
On my skin
They breathe in
They breathe out
In

hums
Out off
Fly hums
In out on off hums itsonme

I explode
I always end up there last
Door locked
But the bears always break through
And I end up on the roof
And the bears are there with me
Hold me tight please
Let me go I need
Up
Up don’t
Wrap me up please
Leave me alone I need
Free
Free don’t
Leave me
Please
Peel back
Show me
Beauty
In
Pain
Peel back
Ruby red
Red shines
Beautiful
Beautiful
Drip
Eternal bliss awaits
Those who let fate run its course
Is eternal bliss for me?
All I want is the nothingness after death
How unfortunate is it, then
That fate has wrapped itself around me
So that after death
All I get
Is eternal bliss
Let’s imagine
Two things
First
A life worth living
Second
A life godforsaken
How is it
That both can be true at once?
