There's no point
in ensuring my safety.
For the world I've been
forced to dwell in
is a hazard to all.
Every choice I make
is inevitably a bad one.
So why should I take
procedures, and wrap myself
in a safety blanket.
Everything that's cherished
has been ripped away from me.
There's nothing
to look forward to.
So excuse me for not playing it safe.
I'll make the worst choices,
never think about anything that could go
wrong.
Because everything bad that could happen
already has.
I'll walk on hot coals with naked feet.
I'll stay underwater
for minutes too long.
I'll taste the sweet forbidden fruit
that is actually living.
Put the poisonous nectar
in my already dying body.
I'll get hazy and fade away
and let the worst people
do the best things to me.
Because I have absolutely nothing to lose.
