mother told me

I'm just garbage dumped

by the roadside, I'm just the

picture on the wall they never notice,

I'm just how it's become, I'm

just the broken

glass of fused light bulbs, I'm just the girl

stabbed and forgotten, I'm just the debris of

explosion, I'm just the one who's

walked out on life, I'm just the one

who's lost her life,

I'm just the one who was born too easy, I'm just the accidental

suicides, I'm just a prayer ignored,

I'm just frozen memories

broken, I'm just a moth that loves

the lights, that blind

that kill.

There are still comforting days when

I think of dying

like sunset skies.
