pick:
do you want to be with someone
who loves you with their entire soul
in a home where you are cared for
where every day is happy
even on the days in won’t be?
do you want to be healthy
and functional and alive?
do you want to love?
or do you want to get high?
do you want to hurt everyone who cares
so bad they don’t care anymore?
alone in a new place every day
chasing feelings off of tin foil?
you won’t eat or sleep or think.
your mom will identify your body
she won’t recognize you, though.
did you pick? did you have to think about it?
it’s such an easy choice
so why is it so hard?
