Shadows beckon with a scream of pain
Close your eyes, listen to the rain
Grainy static from a television screen
Explain your repulsion towards the color green
My head’s a mess, room’s not much better
Write this down, letter by letter
Ache for a hug, don’t say a word
Fall on top of your own sword
Pour your heart onto a page
Listen to songs about female rage
Tune your strings, cut your fingers
Try to pretend the pain never lingers
What does it mean to be okay
Is it black or white or a shade of grey
Fantasize about your own death
Smile as you take your last breath
Write a note and say goodbye
You never will but at least you tried
Tie the knot and hang the string
In the distance, church bells ring
