waking up, stretch my legs
they’re asleep
it's fine, i can still
get up and walk (but it hurts … ow)
4 am, might as well
get some work done
i put off from last night
i’ll learn to manage my time
pencils scatter on the floor
nearby i hear a door
open and shut
(… hello?)
sorry, i thought i heard you there
but you’re imaginary
good for you because
my scars aren’t temporary
oh it’s just a scratch
i’m okay, i’m okay
ointment and a bandaid
will make it okay, okay?
everyone seems to be
plowing through the
same molasses that
dissolves brain tissue
each person’s past
comes in different flavors
some tastes like cotton
others reek of iron
mine tastes like salt
making my mouth water
dehydrates my mind
moisture returns in time
i wanna rinse out my scratches
i wanna wash off my bruises
and replenish my skin
this creature within
but no, no, no, i’m okay
i’m okay without it
bit by bit i can learn
to go without shit
and open my eyes
when all i need to do
is lay down and cry out
oh it’s just a scar
i’m okay, i’m okay
hydrogen peroxide
will make it okay, okay?
