1.Today you hatched, you cut your own umbilical cord your brothers will cut your hands off you will find them in gift shops your brothers will regret hurting you you will regret hurting them look down at your hands they are the most selfish part of you I saw a man with scars covering his head his soul seemed to crawl through them like ivy the roots held his feet down at the steps He kept walking I saw a woman put a gun to her head One hand on the chair, expecting it to sink She sounded like a broken door bell I watched her forget her name it still echoed through the house spiders crawled out of her mouth looking for terrible words to describe the ache I called her mother to stop them from biting there are days i sit still in the cracks of furniture, walls, skin I begin to ask myself why I feel full when i was thinning culmination of self sabotage held my mother's depravity finally i told her, I want to slap some sense into your stupid face

This is how you laugh at things that hurt
