I could have died today
if it hadn't been for sam

As much as I'd like to leave,
there are better ways to die
and what right have I got anyway?
I'd be wasting my grandmother's money
in her efforts to give me an education

between the

cracks, crevices, crevites
emptiness, voids and empty spaces
that's all I've become



this weird hurt/pain,
it's eating me alive
