i dont think about death much
but its really weird when i do
like your body turns cold
and the parts meant to move
they just stop moving
everything stops working
your lungs stop breathing
your blood stops flowing
its like your body gives up
i dont really understand why
but i dont understand a lot
why do english teachers
make me learn a language
ive spoken my entire life
and why do i need to know
the pythagorean theorm
why do i not know politics
but ive taken six years of art class
since when were self portraits
by seven year old art
why does the world rotate around the sun
and also around itself
but never around its moon
why doesnt the earth rotate around the moon
why are my nails shaped funny
different than most girls'
but i get told theyre pretty
since when was different pretty
and why dont i find different pretty
not pretty in the slightest
