you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
_laying in a bathtub full of freezing water, wishing you were a ghost_

Is it so much to ask for...

that when I am down that someone will not criticize me, be irritated at me, pretend not to notice, or try to help just for the sake of saying, "I tried?"

You're why I am not direct anymore--my metaphors & words go into the air. Seems like everytime I explain myself, I feel worse. YOU don't even know who you are.

You're my poison & I drink. Therefore I'm slicing myself with this shiny object to let it all out.

THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL COVER YOUR EYES--WHEN I AM AT MY MOST VULNERABLE, MOST BLOODY, MOST DEAD.

Is it so much to ask for...

that I be sent someone who understands?
that someone will hold me?
that someone will make me feel safe in my skin?
