Attempting to write

Honestly

About my life

Poetically

Is precisely like

Butting out

Burning light

Against my eyes.

​

Every word hurts.

​

Every sentence

Eventually

Barely recollected

After seven bars

Disconnected

From everything

Except what’s expected:

​

Pain.

​

So,

I’m done…

​

I’m done

Slicing vertical lines

Bleeding out as I cry

Clinging barely to life

​

For your pleasure—

Not mine.
