i want to be smaller. tiny, tinier, tiniest. i want to be so small, that i fit into a jar, and can hide in the walls of houses i never called home, maybe if i cut out some stuffing, i will be satisfied. my back will slump forward and you will see my spine, but i will be smaller, less open, less there.. . and i will cease to exist,,, almost an empty shell of skin and zipper, collapsed on the floor, maybe my lungs will still breathe.: die, died, will die. i want to be dead.

i want to be smaller. tiny, tinier, tiniest. i want to be so small, that i fit into a jar, and can hide in the walls of houses i never called home, maybe if i cut out some stuffing, i will be satisfied. my back will slump forward and you will see my spine, but i will be smaller, less open, less there.. . and i will cease to exist,,, almost an empty shell of skin and zipper, collapsed on the floor, maybe my lungs will still breathe.: die, died, will die. i want to be dead.
i couldn't figure out if the die died will die should come before or after the i want to be dead. empire of the sun is such a sad movie
