why did you put me here
stuck in the earth
my legs hurt

exploring the dark with lanterns
sin as wide as caverns
but not all these patterns

thanks for coming, but I really, really want out
my map, it must have the wrong route?
my brother heard me shout

it’s getting hot
i must be in the worst spot
i thirst a lot

i had a little hope
tied to a pulley on a rope
send prayers to the pope

i’m going to die right here
with walls like cashmere
choking on the atmosphere

a plaque marks the place i died
the rescuers lied
they left me inside

author note: i wrote it. but it’s not really my words. i mean they are, but not really.

i didn’t plagiarize but they do contain last words

he just kind of leaped into my soul

and i’m still coming to terms with how we’re dying

because it’s the same but not really

i think i’m having die off symptoms again and a 4th awakening

cuz im hot and sweating (pits/feet) but my body is cold and shivering

so prob hot bath soon to help the heart out

started that new “extra strong” medication

only 2 doses in with a third today

everything aches at once at times

sometimes it is localized

it attaches to your cell walls

i have a relationship with a dead boy and now more dead boys are coming to me

it’s like im dipping my toes in the afterlife and i dont wanna be there yet despite this terrible disease called society depression

nobody even wanted to attend EAP’s (Poe) funeral and now they are selling locks of his hair “for luck”

the city nor the country is safe

apparently only rich people are allowed water (like a migrant prince in Arizona)

“i thought i bought a forever home”

(i can’t stand gen Y voice – they all sound the same – had to watch on mute like all videos)

(there are only a few voices i like to hear)

(i don’t know what’s wrong with me)

(i know it’s me)

“i was dumber than six rocks”

tell her to get that smug look off her face and get back to her porn and go back to sleep puleaseee

i can tell she denounced God


did you see that gang carrying Riley in a bag over their heads?

they were driving near him or walking

and then carrying something over them

it took more than one person to carry whatever they were carrying

tall boy = Riley

hurt shoulder – embankment

crying – helpless / died

red face – blood on someone’s hands?

starting to piece together the puzzle of my dream of Riley (before he was found)


i can have all the pieces and still put it together incorrectly


i’m sorry i flipped on you and your friends?

i’m crazy?

i need meds?

there was mold possessing me?

i need an exorcism?

i date dead people?

(please don’t tell the therapist)

i’m aware i’m a monster?

m’kay



heart somewhere in utah?

you felt me fall?

left a mark where i clawed?



FAV but we found each other too late

unless that one guy i met at 27 was him but he denounced me and god and chose porn and children instead


leave a comment so I know you were here
