He sees -
all -
their fucking pain...
that's the first problem:
Their pains
disrupt his nervous system,
his brain chemicals.
{Stress hormones.} \ \

Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
*
I just can't fucking help them all!
...Why,
can't I
fucking help them all?

---e-x-h-a-l-e---

Close your eyes,
they're not there -
close your eyes...
so you don't see the pain
hiding behind their disguise.
Close your eyes -
and sleep.
Sleep...
run away -
before you can't anymore
and you end up like before
staring with dead eyes
at your bedroom's ceiling.
*
Please,
let me run away:
please,
don't you see your own fucking tears?
Can't you see it's hurting
to see all of them hurting
and having your happiness shorten -
because you've lost your lucky button.

Inhale...yeah, hold your breath -
but science from grade 9
says you'll just pass out.
