and we’ll make our plans as if I’m not falling apart— we’ll go for drinks, let’s grab a bite, I’ll book my greyhound bus; and we’ll be friends— maybe I won’t talk so much— we’ll fake shake hands then really hug and say, “let’s keep in touch”; at what point do I say “I’m depressed day by day”? I’m not myself in spades, but does it really matter anyway? not like it’s something that I’ll say so maybe let’s just enjoy these days; it’s been a month and things have changed enough; I said I’d go for longer walks but only did it once; and I’ve tried— how I’ve tried so fucking hard— but sad’s a sick persistent bitch and my friends* think I’m fun (*someday I hope to be one); I’m cutting my teeth and it takes more than seven weeks; but I’ll be at peace, at least to say I’ll try to be; alone; picture of my ghost sits on the lock screen of my phone ‘cos sometimes I need to see a friendly face; and it takes more than sixty days

and I’m not over ‘til I say I’m over; and I’m a lover ‘til I say I’m not; and I need closure ‘til I stir the pot; I’m getting older, have I grown a lot? and I hope my fears get the best of me ‘cos I’m too scared; I get defensive in my e d; I guess it’s better than the shock of the death in the hall

and I overexcited; I got lost a bit in the c o d; a sib lin too much too loud; I know why I’m fighting; I know what I’m using as a crutch; I’ve been craving my own touch; my gloves are on; and I’ll give a listen to my same old s i y songs; I’ll drown out the notes with all the wrongs; ‘too loud’ ‘too much’; at least, enough until I can’t hold the sadness of the world anymore; I’ve got enough of my own, and what good would it do to break my heart in two again and again? I always regret it right up until release; I tend to write deceased and desist; and so I wrestle with the fact that I’m perceived; my shadow needs a sweet relief as if it needs it more than me; I can’t hold the judgement of the world anymore; I’ve got enough of my own and what good would it do to let it judge me too again and again?; I can’t I can’t the judgement of the world is a chore; I’ve got enough of my own
