1

You think you’re special

with your paralyzing eyes.

News flash, bitch, you’re not.


2

Writing a haiku

is as simple as it sounds.

Write five seven five.


3

What if I do it?

Just stick the knife in my throat?

Will I be free then?

.

4 Nightmare

There’s no danger here,

it’s just me, oh, it’s just me.

Don’t turn off the light.


5

I’m shy like cold feet

seeking shelter in the warmth

of a new lover.


6

Electrifying:

the way you walk in the room

without a mask on.

.

7

Bought a pair of gloves

to hide the scars on my palms.

Shame follows self-hate.


8

Disappoint yourself;

that’s the only way you’ll learn.

Forgiveness is key.


9

I once stole chap stick.

I didn’t really need it.

The line was too long.
