I cried.
I looked at the photos,
The Polaroids,
And I cried
And cried
And cried.
I couldn't feel anything.
My heart was bleeding
And I couldn't feel it.
I cried
Emotionless
Like my body just needed to get it out
I didn't feel pain
Hurt
Nothing
Silent
Just
Tears
Nope
I'm not going back to school.
I'm going to ignore the back-to-school ads
And shopping trips
The packing
The new outfits
The brand-new pencils
I won't do it
Noise
Warming up
Keys
Fingerings
Chatter
Laughter
The chorale
Stopping
Starting
"Again"
"I know you can do better than that"
Serious but
You also love it
Cornered
I put my hands up
Like you taught me
Only now
You're the one attacking
"Helping" because
You "just want me to feel better"
And I braced for impact
