" You blame the hungry
For swallowing your anger-"
"Dear God - I guess I don't seem to matter
Since everyone else is dying around me"
"What a horror it is to kill the one you hold close
By holding them close"
"Wanting to die in a world that is bent on killing you
Is not suicide!"
"Safety is a grand illusion"
"My body has always been a battle ground
In someone else's war"
"Everything I do is an invitation for your condemnation"
"I have a purple heart
from beating myself over things
I cannot fix"
"I'm not afraid of heights
Not afraid of falling
But of what happens when my body hits the ground-"
"I am full of dirty blood"
