Sell my soul to sorrow
Artist’s lines I borrow
Worried about tomorrow
crushing bones of hollow
on this path I follow

Straight and narrow
No turns left or right
I ride into the night

Not a chance to wallow
These pills I’ll never swallow
Worried about tomorrow
Sold my soul to sorrow
To be bare.

To be vulnerable.

To be ripped down
To your support
Structure.

And,
Naked.

In front of everyone.

Full of judgement.

And,
If I cared enough
For what people
Would think.

I wouldn't have given
You these
Notes.

From the
Underground.

Why?
 21h Bree
RED
I was raised as a mother,
Never as the daughter.
A burden they carried,
Never the healer.

I was the giver,
Never the receiver—
And for one single mistake,
I became the villain.
And if you look
Hard enough
Into tomorrow
You will see the
Future,
I will create.

Not out of hope.

Not out of love.

But out of persistence
In failure
And the strength
Of disobedience.

I am not a ray of light.

I am
A
Cataclysm.
How many
More creative
Ways can I say
I wanna die.

I hear they're
Gonna
Go to
Mars.

While I moulder
In my filth,
Ferment in
My forgetfulness.

And God
Says,
Put in more
Work
Slave.

And,
I do.

But I've gone
Past redemption
Got stuck
In retribution.

And all of this
Torment
Would end.

If I could only
Just disappear
Into
The epilogue
Of an
Obituary.
