A silly Little poem by a silly little lady



I wish this water I’m chugging for my health
Was alcohol to drown myself
To escape the world entirely
To save me from it, and it from me

I’ve ceased to see
the meaning of all
In the expanse of sea
And beauty of fall

Someone take it all away
But please, quietly
For after all someone may
Actually still care for me

So erase me like swear words on a bathroom door
Wipe me like stains on the floor
Tie my life up with ribbons and string
For I am so tired of ev e ry thing
