i fall back upon the lashes that have marked my back, i wonder. how have i gotten this far? rewinding back to a time, seven days worth of tears ago, i wondered. how can i not go far, how can i eliminate my existence in the most profound way. i fall back upon the lashes that have marked my back, i have fallen repeatedly. perhaps life is the hardest to endure, so giving up is too easy. i want to be known for being something, not doing something.
