So I’ll nod until my neck snaps

Worn down to paper thin skin

And measly shrugs

Traded my glare for a complacent grin

Plastic tea cups for ceramic mugs

Stolen glances for a rehearsed laugh

Soft ice cream for thigh gaps

It seems easier now,

To starve than swallow.

My tongue is raw,

Jagged teeth dug into the muscle

Excuses never slip.

Sunk to the bottom.

“Fallen angel,” they cry,

Drunk sailors watch, aghast,

Hopeless, lifeless, she lie.

They dredge her up,

Callin’ her pale hue tragic,

They study her vacant eyes,

A morose sight, bloated to the surface,

On days of somber skies,

They think of her.

A lonely girl, too young to die.

Sunk To The Bottom.

What Will Life Look Like 2 Years From Now?

What will life look like 2 years from now?

Can I hear the train whistle between the brush of trees?

The howling of coyotes and roars of mountain lions,

Maybe I’ll be cruising down the golden coast.

I’m hungry for it.

Dry toast and black coffee from a waitress named Diane

It’s not just surviving anymore

I’ll feel at home once the ocean breeze hits my face,

Once it takes my hair between its salty grasp.

I’ll feel whole

Unrecognizable

Unknown.

On my own

No one to please

Just me and a couple sand fleas.

he wants the ballerina in the music box

to spin around for him

and flutter her eyelashes

not the dancer in his bed

prêt à ramper dans ses bras

He Wants The Ballerina In The Music Box
