The older generation said my future is bleak
So I just rose up like a king and broke the ground around my feet
I'm just trying to move you like you don't have the ticket for your seat
My style is so unique
because my soul is antique
If you think that you hold the key
then let the fat lady sing
it's no difference.
For the lows there are highs.
Search for truth and find lies
and you'll claim its the lies but it's truth you despise
me so I move on to plan b.
(Are you #beyond me?
I comprehend
                                                      the irony of trying to figure out the harmony.)

"911 what's your emergency?"

"SHE'S DEAD! SHE'S DEAD! I CAN SEE IT IN HER EYES. HER HEART BROKE AND I EVEN CUT MY FOOT ON THE SHARDS."

"I'm going to need you to slow down ma'm. Now tell me, who is it that's dead?"*

"ME!"

(hangs up the phone)

*"Ma'm. Ma'm, is anybody there?"

"The problem with suicide is that when it becomes an option in your mind, it's always an option."

TELL THEM HOW CLOSELY YOU WOULD WATCH YOUR BATTERY DIE, TELL THEM HOW YOUR HEART WORKS THE SAME WAY, TELL THEM YOU ARE SO TIRED OF BEING USED, TELL THEM YOU ARE DEAD.

within a prison-like classroom.
i learnt the writer used
"i "
to express his or her's feeling of unimportance.


i promise you.
i've been texting my i's in lowercase letters ever since.
The weight of these words
rolling around in my head
are breaking my neck
one thought at a time.

THE EXCUSE USED WAS THAT I HAD
WRITER'S BLOCK.

UNTIL I STARTED BEING HONEST
WITH MYSELF,

AND ADMITTED I WAS TERRIFIED
OF CREATING SOMETHING THAT
PEOPLE WOULDN'T LIKE.

I WAS TERRIFIED OF NOT BEING ENOUGH,

EVEN FOR MYSELF.
