1.  diamondback boys
with tombstone-smiles
rolling out
zombie phrases
pick up lines
picking up lines
to tie
me with

2. mothers

3. bloated tears
of jealousy
caused by
me
i just want to be
friends

4. heights

5. flying
i don't like being so high
the higher you are
the more it hurts
when someone drops you
maybe i am happy
being miserable
i guess i'm not sure

6. snakes

7. little sisters
that would break you
if they had the strength
snap you in two
like a barbie doll
she wants me to love my mother
but she also wants the three ravens
that she so often paints
to fall out of the sky
she would be fine
dropping them
herself

8. yelling

9. a friend that knows how pathetic
i truly am
and becomes disgusted
with the facade
that is my existence
someone who knew
how much i don't
want to be here
i am afraid
of the way
they would look at me
i am afraid
of their
pity
