Poem
Before I collapse from overdosing on apathy before I become empty from losing my lunch shed my snake skin and become a venomous reptilian again I write my final innocent words before I replace them with malice I hold back my rage for there's just tears for the moment I'm afraid this is the temporary end of me The boy telling this story will vanish once the last word is written These thoughts, my cancer these questions are the tumors that Friday night, a mystery; why do you haunt me so Why wasn't I there to see the scene unfold instead of hearing news I never saw wish I never heard, wish I never...
