Suicidal thoughts

Zena Williams 2009 (Calgary)

Free verse
How am We supposed to tell you what’s wrong when I don’t know myself?
You act like i’m a book on the shelf
I have all the knowledge compelled.  
I know I need help
But you are un-delt with
Because you have no clue what’s wrong
So let’s go hit the bong
Because there’s no point when you’re not going to be here for long.
-Z.E. Williams
