Dust bunnies and black spiders
are all hiding beneath my bed.
It’s no more bleak or dark under there
than the life that I now live.
Cutting myself was very hard
and was almost more than I could do
but I want so bad for “God’s” test to end
that I hide my bloody clothes from you.
Now I’ll cover up my bleeding wrists
with flowers to wrap around my wounds
so that only I can see the truth between
the yellows pinks and blues.
Eventually all of the red will drain away
leaving my body to turn blue
I hope that you’re not holding me then
because that’s just not fair to you.
