#mitigation
stomach twists in pure fear
i’ve had enough people for a year
feel their eyes burning into me
rather leave you for soul deceit
alone and focused on
i feel so far gone
i want to scream
i want to wake up from this dream
i think i look stupid
i don’t think i feel worth it
hoping for someone to take the blame
of the loneliness left untamed
will they see me write this?
can i justify this?
i just want a friend to sit down with
i don’t need a hug or a kiss
i want to go home
i want to say no
trapped in obligations
sadness in mitigation
maybe i should say something
but it might disturb something
how are you?
good, i’ve got something to do
come watch my misery
from a comfortable bird’s eye view

You remove the words from my mouth
treating me like a fountain spring
(insert laughter)
when you're dry and searching for life
only if, and otherwise I'm off
Your precious utility
darkly in your canteen
You remove my words as if you're due
mitigation for free
I won't be left alone
within your arm's reach
If that's what you want,
how bout I pull open my wounds?
To let all the bees out?
How bout I twist on your wrist?
To show you I've got poison
to take, if you've nothing to give.
