i am an *******
and I feel weird
all the time
and I have mood swings faster than the striking of snakes
and my rage comes like hurricanes
and my euphoria like spring rain
quick and furious
i am bitter like
wormwood
and i laugh at things
i shouldn’t
and i wring my hands
and bite my lips
and glare
i have no social grace
and i dislike more things in this world than i can admit
but i make you lunch.
and let you cry on me
burn candles
fill your pockets with lavender for luck
and witch bottles full of blood and my hair
and pour salt
and put on party dresses
and pick flowers
and bring wine
and i pour fire in the mouths of those who hurt you
and i abandon you for days
when the dark in my head
gets too loud
but not really
because
i think about you all the time
it’s just
i don’t want you to see the lightening striking and the
lion roaring and screaming in my mind
when i tally up my skin
and empty my stomach i
don’t want you to see
and
i don’t want you to abandon me
so don’t
******* leave me
don’t abandon me
and i know you need space too
because i can be suffocating
but
when i disappear into my own head
people don't miss me
like i
miss
them
when i put so much effort into being
a some-what human being for you
