-Yo, this one has references to self harm, physical and mental abuse, and mental health junk! Stay crispy, and stay safe!-
I tear my teeth into my tongue,
The torn up thing has had its run.
Every time I speak I stop and stumble,
Tarnished trash that I mash gets me into trouble.
I don't quite understand,
The things you expect me to peacefully withstand.
You tear my eyes from their home,
Sink your nails into my skin and leave me bleeding all alone.
I watched you as your wrath fell down,
You were scared and strange and you wore a frown.
Your damage had already been done,
Still held out a hand and pulled me kicking and clawing into a hug bearing bitter brother tongue,
As if you forgave me,
For daring to ever be.
Your face hurts and melts into malicious misery,
Please step away and leave me be.
You were never my family anyways,
Still your static stain stays,
Until bitter blossoms are all that remains without momentary delays,
Stinging sewage soak pries and plays at loving lips always,
I wish I were an orphan in some ways,
I wish I could go home.
I wish I would be left alone.
I wish my dandelion wishes weren't blown.
I wish I only had creature and friend compassion left to show.
I wish I were stoic and steady and unshaking for every stupid sanity blow.
