Just Kill Me (Atty Awards 2012)

White walls,

White halls.

The bed is melting.

The ceiling is laughing.

My mother;

She is crying.

My father;

He is speechless.

Sister won’t look at me,

And my best friend doesn’t know me

Anymore.

There’s a snake on my arm.

I try to whack it away,

But it doesn’t move.

Kill,

Kill,

Kill,

Kill.

“Stop it!”

There’s that needle again.

How did that gash on my arm

Get there?

I laugh.

They’re talking to me again.

The alimi.

“When will she get better?”

“Shut up!” I scream. “Just shut up!”

I laugh.

And laugh.

And laugh.

Kill,

Kill,

Kill,

Kill.

There’s screaming.

Who’s screaming?

Oh, it’s me…

“I hate you,” I sob.

Kill,

Kill,

Kill,

Kill.

Just.

Kill.

Me.
