I dropped my purse
while searching for a lighter.
Bandaids, two packs of Newports, tissues, and a mirror
cascaded to the ground.

In a sea of people,
nobody offered
help

delicate
lovely
romantically depressed
poetically broken

not at all.
just a sick
naïve
little girl
with an unloaded gun
and a wrist full of scars

Fat man
sit on your throne
and enlighten me with my flaws.
Grab me by the ankles,
shake,
and watch my ego pour out from my pores.
Tape my mouth closed
and whisper your syrupy words
through my ears.
I won't struggle,
you humor me.
You think you know me?
You think you can diagnose the devil?
Idiot fat man.
Just sit on your throne.
Let me do the talking.

If I witnessed a trillion shooting stars,
each wish would be the same.
Make me
normal.

Most times I am bitter,
annoyed,
and slightly puzzled,
by the world's sensitivity.
But then sometimes a rush of every feeling ever once felt by anyone comes rushing in, around, up, down, here, there,
everywhere
and I get the wind knocked out of me from its force
and I can't breathe from the shock of it scouring my circulatory system
and I can't compute
euphoria,
fury,
despair,
as they all comes at once like bullets through my brain.
I'm left breathless, trembling, dying, with myriad thoughts but only one question.
Is it better to feel everything or nothing at all?

Stupid boy.
Are you truly conceited enough
to believe that just because you
touched me,
you know who I am?
You are nothing more than
a toy.
I have galaxies growing
inside me,
that you will never even scrape
the surface of.

I need you to read the braille
of my body
and tell me
what it means to you.

Because the story
I'm trying to write
is just coming out
as perfect
straight
lines,
and how can there be a purpose to that?
