when life suddenly hits
you started to ask
am i too fucking sensitive ?
all the things that you did
stayed in your mind
forever like an old scratchy cd
playing the embarrassing past
over and over again like eating breakfasts
you keep lying to yourself
that as long as you have
one of those things
you’ll be happy
alter the memories
make them tragic
lay in bed for days
cry at 5am
sad and broken
who are you anyway?
say, did you miss it?
are you going back
for the knife or for the blood
hurting oneself or hurting others
so hard to choose
maybe you’d do both
this time, maybe you’d manage to
shoo everyone away.
