I
I have drawn a continuous line on my skin
Scratching out the attempted virtues
Disposing of them
into a recycling binWhere they are filtered and compressed
to the size of a tin
Converted to poison equivalent to ginThat I
oh-so-casually chug through myself
My eyes all the while begging for helpHelp
that I do not accept
Poison that sticks inside as my heart cries yelpMy fickle mind
Low and high accompanying life with a sighAt every opportunity that arises I raise my hand to form a goodbye
I will no longer ask for minimalism
when my mind travels with the girls down to PRYZMCollecting this junk
Waking up to watch how low I have sunkBut
I
Supposedly have spent 7 years growing roots
Today counts and today I haven't given a hootForgive me
Forgive the I#selfishbitch
I
