wouldn't it be beautiful if i choked up right now
made you think for just a second that you get it
maybe all it meant was
that i needed to get a glass of water
but i did choke up and you haven't earned
the right to ask me why
you don't know why i'm crying
just let me dry my eyes
you never talk to me
until you're forced to
you only look at me when i flagellate
myself at the front of the room
was it bravery or just humiliation
artistry or oversharing motivated by isolated
of course you liked it i just wanted you to listen
of course you liked it i just wanted you to listen
but i'm tired of details
i'm tired of you
i'm tired of numbness
i'm tired of feeling
just let me rest
let me rest
let me rest
let me rest
there's nothing in this body left for you
wouldn't it be beautiful if i died in my sleep
you wouldn't have to look me in the eyes to hear my words
maybe all it meant was another number to crunch
counting up the martyrs
but i still draw breath and you haven't earned
the right to ask me why
i don't know why i'm dying
it's just a part of life
i'd only kill myself if you asked me to
it's just a type of talking i haven't mastered yet
it's so easy to create a victim
writing for an audience that still flinches at the sound of my voice
what kind of fucked up freak must i be
everyone loves my poems why does no one like me
but i'm tired of sickness
i'm living in hell
too embarrassed to admit that it's of my making
just last month i swore that i was a child
who the hell let me start drinking
i'm just another blinking stat to you
so why do i do anything for you
why am i accommodating you
i'm really lost now tell me what to do
i lost the test
i lost the test
i didn't even know i was taking it
i lost the test
i lost the test
why did no one tell me i was taking it
