hungry
I sit in the corner, cradling a book,
or laptop, or phone, or nothing at all,
I sit in the corner listening to the hum of chatter,
I focus on different voices,

empty
I don’t care,
I’m failing all my classes, my life
I have tasks to do,
two of them, three, four, I’m buried
The weight is crushing me,

I open my eyes, glancing around me,
the world is dripping with shades of grey,
my glasses have disappeared.
My eyes are open, the rose is gone,

The pristine white sheet burns into my eyes,

This is the way, in the USA
I'm American born and raised
not enough pay

take me out.
knock me over the head with a baseball bat and drag my unconscious form
beneath the shadowed wall. into a wardrobe. a hobbit hole.
wherever you can think to put me, do so. i want out.
i want to make my mark

The world
Cold and dark like a blizzard in the night.
Deceiving and dangerous as if a snake with fangs like daggers.
Wild like the wind and agonizing like a fire with flames white as snow.

Anatomy's Future
I stopped standing the day that everyone else stopped standing for us
I have not put my hand over my heart in over a year because what is there to hide?
I was born here with the blonde hair and blue eyes

I see the invisible pain
They smile,
They laugh,
But in their eyes I see something,
A sadness,
A pain.
