Sometimes I dream of being a kid Sometimes I dream of never waking up Sometimes I dream of being free. Sometimes I forget what life is about. Sometimes I dream the 8 pills multiplied by 14 and that I died in the corner of the scene. Sometimes I dream of never giving up the 10 floor I was planning on jumping. Sometimes I dream of taking the poison I had been hiding. I used to mark all my birthdays and count them all as funerals. And I'd take pleasure or pain then clean up the deed. That's a good girls memorial. At 13 I thought I was projecting Just a product of society, I'm copying what I'm given. I thought it was boisterous and fraudulent to be suicidal. So I became less pretentious. Waited for mother nature. A crosswalk, a powerful storm, a sickness Glimmering on my birthday candles. I've been better, Older and meticulous I take to anger to get me off. Moving from place to place, trading ciggaretes to be unconscious. I polarize memories, scared they'll leave me if I'm not cautious. Gatekeep happiness, the child and its loss. My daddy still a distant obsession, now closer than ever: Kid me saw him as a god, now I wonder if he's ever been human. My mommy still the embodiment of warning, I used to think I'd see her cured of her epiphanies. She's here but she'll never understand. Every morning colder I'm clinging to what I never had Hair's been black, blue, green, purple, pink until it wasn't, Scaring trespassers with my fingers on the book subtitle "legal ramification of a psychopath who's suicidal" I've been 3 then 7 then every other number every year, I refuse to get older the same way I refused to stay little. Being really has been rough, I guess I'll have to grow up. But sometimes I dream of all my years going my way. Sometimes I feel stuck in and out of my own brain. Sometimes I want to erase my scars to make room for more. Spectaculos speculations of a nail arching out of the floor. I'm better even when I'm not. Kid me would want to die the moment something irritating happened , present me would wait a second. Not for me now but for me in the future, Who could be smiling at me and remember, That it was worse once maybe it won't stay so forever
