please do not publicize my spiral: my dying wish, the epitaph i've tattooed on my chest. please be quiet. i do not want to be a cautionary tale- a naked body on the edge of a highway; caked blood and stilettos i don't want a story let me fade. please, let me fade. something to be exhumed later, renamed after someone i'll never meet. i want found-in-the-forest-please-come-and-identify remains. a shell, a corpse, but not a body not something that held a person. i want to distance myself from myself.
