Young with burns from the last August,
Being diligent in papers, passing tasks,
Landing in place within the slightest hours,
Jokes were made from kings, spikes removed,
I stopped packing and moved to your building,
Lost a beauty after a graduation and cake,
Everybody pats on my back,
Getting damages in the spine, and alcohol in the hands, injections draw away,
My pain beautified in a bed with sounds in the nerves,
I cough artistically with your laughter,
Reminding how strong I reached, and how collapsed with my room's wall,
I hope you get everything you ask for,
Visit a city for my last call, I swear I was looking for something,
Returning food against my willingness, thinking I might deserve this,
My mother combs the tapestry of my hair, she said it fell in heaven,
Carrying my injuries onto her shoulders,
Saying I hold all the rings, and green light as the grass dances,
Breezing on the hills, I swear I was looking for a way to run from an oracle,
Sunset in the summer, dying together, I'll hold you with a smile lyrically,
I was getting damn close to getting out, then glasses slammed my vision aesthetically,
I swear I was looking for a new body when mine happened,
I swear I was looking for makeup when they told me I had lost my colour,
They think I'm happier cause I got skinny, saying my waist won't be filled with the colour,
Hiding in the bathroom in a large building, after a chemo, hearing and patting on my ears,
I'll know you again, and then we might catch the chill,
