I'll wake up in the morning.
Pet my cat.
Step down a few stairs.
Do something.
Do something else.

I'll put lipstick in my eyes
to make them beautiful
and sad.

Or something.

Then I'll cover my head
(I don't want it out in the world)
and cover my waist
(I don't want anybody's hands there)

Duck and Cover
Duck and Cover
Duck and Cover
duckandcoverduckandcoverduckandcover
duckandcoverduckandcover
du­ckandcover

And I'll put lipstick in my eyes
and lipstick on my waste
and I'll stain those back dimples
with crimson lipstick

And I'll decorate my home
and I'll decorate my soul
in ribbons and bows
(I'll wrap them up really tight this time)

I'll Run In Circles
I'll Run In Circles
I'll Run In Circles
I'll Run In Circles

runrunrunrunrunrun
runrunrunrunrun
runrunrunrun
runrunru­n
runrun
run

And I'll laugh
really honestly

Breathe.
Freeze.
Don't move.
Don't talk.
****.
Do not move.
Stop breathing.
Stare.
Calm down.
Breathe.
No.
Nonono.
Too much.
It hurts.
Oh, ****, it hurts.
They've noticed.
Freeze.
Stop staring.
Make them think you're okay.
Leave me alone.
Shut up.
Shut up shut up ****, too loud.
Way too loud.
Don't talk.
Do not get up.
Run.
Runrunrunrun.
No.
Hurts.
Dig your nails into your arms.
Pick a scab.
Now another one.
Blood.
Yes.
Good.
Now hide.
Curl up in a ball and hide.
Don't move.
No.
Nonono.
Can't get away.
Make it stop.
Can't.
Please.
Pleasepleaseplease go away.
Help me.
Breathe.
Freeze.
Don't move.
Don't talk.

I don't even know about this one. I adapted it from the page I scrawled all over in my notebook while it was happening.
