I think I would die for a stranger if they asked me nice enough.

[objectifyingsadness]

raise your dead girl

raise them high

let all the sky see

and do not let it close it's eye

raise your voice girl

it will try to cover it's ears

do not back down

make them hear

raise yourself girl

from your living grave

they won't want to listen

but we won't allow them to

look away

[objectifyingsadness]

Tiny silver birds

sit light as feathers

their creases perfect

but their bodies tethered

Prophecy inscribed

on their flimsy paper skin

Delicate wings poised to fly

their imprisonment hasn't yet sunk in

The creator will crush them

knock them silent from the sky

but how could I forget?

they were never able to

fly.

[objectifyingsadness]

Sitting in a circle

around a flashlight

on dirty, unfinished wood floors

swept of loose dust

are seven teenagers

huddled together

heads on shoulders and laps

leaning on backpacks

knees brought close to chests

each wearing as many clothes as possible

because it gets cold at

Night.

They are surrounded by the kind of silence

you only find deep in the forest

the kind that isn't really silence at all.

a prolonged, cold creeling.

But they form a bubble of warmth

they are laughing, talking,

ripping the wrappers off

pop tarts and granola bars and bandaids

unafraid of disturbing the same silence

that will settle slowly, in an hour or so

when they begin to drift off to sleep

one by

one.

[objectifyingsadness]

a speeding car

is the confessional booth

of the self proclaimed

unworthy

[objectifyingsadness]

Memories of you

are the crumpled up

receipts

at the bottom of my bag

their ink faded to illegiblity

the shops i got them from

long-closed, or in places

i will never go back to

and yet

still i ask

"what if i need these?"

A rain soaked sweatshirt

is a deeper cold

than others.

Maybe it's because

you can't take it off

it used to make you warm

and you've convinced yourself

it's a good cold.

I am stuck freezing

in my

rain soaked sweatshirt.

[objectifyingsadness]

i don't think you need to be humanoid

your perfectly fine the way you are

unless you want to be

then we could get you a new body

don't forget about the time.

[objectifyingsadness]

Plant on my windowsill

I'm sorry I haven't opened the shades

in the two weeks

You are dying without sunlight

because of me

Plant on my windowsill

I'm sorry I haven't gotten up to water you

in two weeks

You are dying without water

because of me

Plant on my windowsill

I'm sorry

We are dying

because of me.

[objectifyingsadness]

delirious symphony of life

why would you betray my

monster horse

[objectifyingsadness]

sweet lies

grow upon

the queen of love

like skin

[objectifyingsadness]

You haven't heard from her in months

if you never heard from her again

would you still be my

best friend?

would you mourn her

or would you mourn me?

We'll all be buried

as something we're not

so just smile

and hope

for a nice

fast

rot

and I

can't wait to write to you

from beyond the grave

but they'll all be long dead

before you answer

anyways

and it makes me want to write a

book full of confessions

cause I dont want my life

to be a big fat lesson

They'd read it when I'm gone

would you read it when I'm gone?

And there I'll be

looking pretty in a coffin

my hair tied back with a

bow.

But am I really dead

when it's her they're burying

when it's all just a fucked up show.

oh

and not even you will know.

Maybe then you'll see my footprints

where I once walked the earth

but maybe you'll just sigh

"she was too young to die"

Yeah, but so was I.
