There is a never ending breed of bracteria livig in my bones It almost chews with the full intent of biting off but not quite, holds back just enough to leave me hanging my joints, nooses of collateral damage, they almost wiggle like worms but burn with less intensity than pain. There is a never ending wall of inter knotted muscle within my back I call these things frustration although alot of the time they feel like fury make my neck ache like guilts burden. I have ground my teeth to tiny sizable pellets and picked at my charred white skin, until there is no more youth in this body all you will see is five foot seven of sallow eyes pale faced bloated frustration corpse-like if corpses smiled. Untill my teeth are yellowed from coffee and cigarettes and the laugh lines around my mouth taunt me like the scars on my upper arm (if you are scarred just as painfully by laughter as a knife what is the point of it all) 12 inches of stitched back frustration that reads: you cannot undo what was done stitches I want i want to rip out in the company of polite normal people and smile at their disgusted faces have you ever as a child been so unhappy by what you put down on paper you would scrunch the whole thing up after crossing it out in the thickest black marker throw it in the bin and start over? This is what living feels like I am just a  canvas I can almost remember what it was like to laugh
