the cost
step one.) think. think of everything that people must hate about you. step two.) let it consume you until you forget to breathe step three.) drop microscopic hints to people that you're not okay step four.) breakdown when they don't get it step five.) make excuses for them step six.) fear that they do get it, but you just bother them so much that they don't care step seven.) stop talking step eight.) start overeating, or eating nothing (with practice, you may be able to do a combination of both) step nine.) watch tv until you fall asleep on the couch every night step ten.) don't shower step eleven.) go numb step twelve.) receive a notification on your phone that sends you spiraling into self loathing and wondering why the hell you did this in the first place because it doesn't make it better. it doesn't. it doesn't step thirteen.) feel selfish for even thinking about bothering anyone again just to satisfy your own stupid craving for attention step fourteen.) finally reach out step fifteen.) repeat steps one through fourteen. again and again and again. step sixteen.) die

brain hurt
you aren't sweet you're salty. but i like to lick the sweat from your lips. you aren't soft you're sharp. but i like the way your nails feel against my back. you aren't loud you're quiet. but i like to sit and just think with you. you aren't poetic you're poetry. but i like to write you into immortality.

you aren't
i play a song full of dissonant chords but i won't stop until the last note because maybe someone needs to hear a song

through the dissonance
used to think i was so wise yes, my words were so clever and now i stare at my demise regretting my foolish endeavour i thought my words could hold you that they would show you my heart but you just saw right through my carefully crafted piece of art
