Abscondment

by aarya

*I only took the rat poison Because I thought there were rats inside of me And sprayed the inside of my mouth with pesticide Because I could feel the bugs crawling up and down my throat That day I tried to drown myself Was only because I thought If my demons knew how to swim Escape would be easy When I opened up my arms I only wanted to free the nightmares I took thirty- six sleeping pills Because I thought it would Hush the voices in my mind The whole gallon of gasoline Was not intended Just enough ( A few ounces or so) So the fire inside of me would burn out And the cup of charcoal Because I realized I wanted everything back*
