You don't get dark when you fall apart It's when you're putting it back together, that you see the damage from the bad weather, Mom I can't come inside my clothes are soaked I guess it's not so serious in the end, I'm not made of glass I don't break I bend, So I'm bent out of shape, I'll take some yoga, Get a massage, Focus on my breathing, I'll do a bunch of stuff and sort out my kinks. Give me a high five, promise I won't flinch, I didn't do this to myself, But I'm here by myself, I won't be bitter, I'll be better, See: I burned all the sweaters, I've moved somewhere with better weather, So I should be getting lighter and I think I am. But on Tuesday I cried because of a printer jam. I wasn't worried about the printer but I was worried about my boss. Would they yell at me? Did I **** up? Am I worthless? Do I deserve this? My boss is nice don't get me wrong, but I was told for four years that I am what's wrong. I am what's wrong. I am wrong. So anyway I had to reload the paper, I missed a therapy session and misplaced the stapler.   So I didn't do this to myself, But I am what I am and I'm dark, Im here by myself not afraid of the dark, Maybe in the end I win, Maybe in the dark I'm better, Maybe my night vision will save me next time, Maybe my clothes won't be soaked.

Burning Sweaters
