You see? No, you don't.
You'd hate if you were me.
I dress in the dark
by placing daisies over derogatory dents!

how?
Something is growing out of silence unsaid screams and quiet firey remarks. Pulsing through a stopping heart withstanding heat from overloaded

A desire to eat away at flesh, scratch and bite it raw from the bone.
Lost beneath a mental barrier, exposing itself physically in the
silence.

without passing a glance
or a mumbled greeting.
I know you,
but you don't say hello.
"Hey," someone says.

that I know is passing by me.
But you still wouldn't say hello.

to reform and repurpose and reshape and resize
and confine my legs, arms and hands that

as I step inside.
My eyes stare up at certain death
the incoming lid

The space contracts upon my heart constricted,
and collapses a collapsed lung releasing air
increasing pressure to

This labeled box:
"This is who I'm supposed to be,"

before a stone
with my name engraved
has one mourner:
