1:51 a.m.

i don’t want to write anything

i want to lay in bed and

do nothing

some words creep into my head

i write some down

i don't need to treat you anymore or any less

i moved to los angeles and shattered my view

i forgot my childhood

a few years after that

saturdays mowing the lawn and i missed a blade of grass

and it all came down to the sound of 12 screams

i learned not to make any sounds

alone is better

i am the worst case in town

i watched people from afar

it feels like a play for an audience of one

the meaning of pain

getting the **** beat out of you

made me want to learn to type

books are the only voices that taught me where i could go

i can’t feel that way any more

i'll keep writing
