tick tock

A world which 

Begins with the 

Click of the 

Day, with 

Every tick 

From the clock 

Going round, 

Hounding the day till 

I drag myself out,

Just for another day. 


 

Killing yourself 

Lingers with chance, 

My life hangs 

Not with my choice,

Or with my will. No, I

Pertain to the world, 

Quick schemes and

Rushed time-


 

Slow, is not an option. 

Time is a resource. 

Use it, or it will be 

Vanquished, lost, squandered.


 

Where is it lost?

Xenial offerings, 

You cannot waste time, or the 

Zealots will pass you.

    To have survived this long 

    despite the world’s penchant 

    for beautiful dead girls,

    Is that not magical in itself?

    The heart is an arrow

    It demands aim to land true, 

    it leaves us

  • pointless pleas

    someone hear me

    please, little gods, 

    whoever is listening, 

    whoever hears the echo, 

    someone

    hear me. 

    i have enough 

    caffeine 

    in my blood

    to kill a cow,

  • oh, my momma

    momma, 

    you know, 

    i was so pretty today.

    i woke up on time

    you didn’t say anything 

    before you left

    but,

    my glasses were clean

    my nails were painted,
