i don’t think
i’ve been myself
for a long time;
you didn’t know
it’s not your fault
goodbye.
Writing, Ideas, & Stories
i don’t think
i’ve been myself
for a long time;
you didn’t know
it’s not your fault
goodbye.
i use to believe
it was to avoid
losing;
to win
no matter what-
now
to only play
when losing
isn’t an option
there is a poison inside me
slithers through my fingers
fang mark lingers
slowly heavy
fist feel heavy
fist feel tightly around your throat
lips feel heavy
fang mark lingers
there is a poison inside me
slithers through our fingers
writers block
took me out back
and beat me with bats
like office space.
talked a lot of shit
thought it would never happen to me

it’ll bite back
multiply
find a way
to exist
i don’t know if i’ll love the same
i don’t know if that’s bad
-i know we will find out
-i know that’s good
pretty sure i’ve never done anything
& today is the first day i drew breath
the night before, the night before
i gathered materials for a brisket
that brisk evening
we took a stroll to the market to get a brisk
iced tea and a cigarette
all of yesterday
in smoke
so you always cared
or did you just want your ass ate.
pray for me
they keep talkin’ on me
keep that mouth away from me.
just a worldy wonder
a monolith
