Don't Visit, Don't Call
Don't visit when I'm like this.
Don't look upon me when I am a creature less than a human.
Don't approach me with your blankets and your wipes. When I am savage don't approach me.
Look away when I cry
Look away when I slice my skin
Don't ask again
If I am okay, I'll always say, "I'm fine,"
Turn around as I howl at the moon in despair.
Wipe your faux tears and act like a normal person
For certain
You must know what that's like.
Acting.
Because you always know how to pretend to care again and again when I didn't ask for you.
The worse type of nurse is the type that force their fists down your throat and calls it a feeding.
For your own good.
How could, how could you tell me that I'm unstable! I already know!
Leave me to wallow and swallow these nails of iron you beautiful siren. Leave me to drag myself to my own death.
