Mother, Father
I am six foot one and I can see over the trees
I can **** mountains and bury my bones in the soil
I am six foot one and I am just tall enough to see the truth
I can look over others but I can't look over myself
My shoulders bend like a bow, waiting to break
And I can feel it all. I can feel it all.

And to you,
May your temporary smile be a golden forever
And your heart existent with or without hope
Let your brain open doors your hands cannot touch
And your chest not collapse when the smoke is too much
To live and to love with you is the grandest adventure
And to cut myself on your edges, bleeds into itself
And to live in your heart, is the biggest place I've ever found
And to kiss you until my hands break and there is no sound

And to all of us,
We're a dark piece of trash
Ribs are a cage and holographic souls sing
Disenchanted by the human experience
We're pretentious and objectify everything

And to all of us,
We're all light, we're all eyes wondering wide
And we all shine bright, some of us cannot hide
May your hands slant, slowly slinging
towards the bells that are slowly ringing
and may you strike a chord in all of us.
May your existence be a temporary forever.
How do I tell you
Without you getting scared.
How do I let you know
That nothing's alright.
How do I tell you
Not to care.

What should I say
When I tell you I self harm?
What will you hear when
I tell you I've planned my death
A thousand times?
What do I say when I
Already have an execution date?
I'm not in a good space right now.
After many attempts
And thoughts of goodbye.
I hope this is it.
I hope that I die.
If I could die
A thousand deaths
A thousand times
It would not be enough
To end this.
Just give me the courage to do it.
To end it.
Please.
