I Already Accepted

I already accepted. 
The gold metal, the grinding sounds. 
Every type of glue that isn’t as good as a nail. 
Unknowingly. 

I already accepted. 
The sweaty feeling. 
Wings falling off. 
Brand new socks that have tears. 

I already accepted. 
How everyone is congratulating me. 
Smoky and no eyes. 
An award like a gravestone. 

I already accepted that lock of hair. 
I already accepted an apple with a bite mark. 
I already accepted the howling staircase. 
I already accepted help from a werewolf who can’t remember anything. 

I already signed that slip of paper. 
That tells them I can stay in the hospital. 
Got folded up.
And poof. 

I already accepted. 
And they say they have proof.
