i like to eye-roll
keep my tank low

like the ground i trowel
i dig around
come up underground

i’m burning closets
banking deposits
lost my mind not worth it

i’m working
losing like a winner
God says i’m a sinner
my grave thinner

lawyer giving me his clauses
demanding my tongue pauses
i’m not flawless

but call me a priest
need an exorcism i think
foot on ledge
my soul at breach

his wings were stolen
carry them like i’m swollen –
swords polished and golden

hold on then…

we’re eating cereal! i like my dinner with poison. why are you choking?


no hope here / just a mangled boat dear


storm on horizon / take it on Poseidon / the strength i’m havin


🙂


also me: heart > brain > lung injury

yet i still breathe


JUST NEED A MINUTE TO SAY I LOVE YOU GOD

yeah yeah yeah


i think the mold was driving me into the brink of madness – i mean, i found myself wrapped up in a shower curtain screaming in agony for probably six hours of least

neighbors heard me lose my mind


i live with a disease called depression

but i ain’t jumping on the nihilism deathtrain

i don’t need any help dying


i need to stop trying


but there’s a lot of crying


i just want some place to die in peace and quiet


in maybe 65 years


that is only 110 tho

let’s go 111


wow oh wow how lovely

maybe undersold myself

damn


one can have goals

i mean, i’m nearly halfway there and one foot in the grave

a girl can dream


right now i would like to go one day without coughing

doc wants another CT scan

you know, at infectious diesease

where staff treat you like a plague

(well not them, just the idiots everywhere else)

cuz i’m half zombie

i took identifying as goth a little too far


i just wanna move somewhere with clean air and enjoy my black box


hope John Jones still on my back

yeps

the way he wanted fresh air again


he just wanted to get back to his life

“i hate it here”

same


just some freestyle through the phone

3 weeks until new home

clinging on


i made some grave mistakes getting the Moderna vaccine

there better not be any waivers to sign getting into heaven


they took away the avatar but i downloaded the video but it looks like shit


what you’re still here? love and miss you


leave a comment so I know you were here
