They say that water is made from hydrogen and oxygen
They say that tap water is necessary because of the added fluoride
and that sea water will dehydrate you faster because of the amounts of salt

But no one ever said that people could be like water,
necessary for survival
and damn, I am so thirsty.

My first “real” boyfriend told me that I didn’t know what depression was
if he could see me now maybe he would realize that depression is different for everyone
sometimes it just takes longer to develop
right now I’m stuck in a forest with trees that grow really fast
no one knows who planted them
I am lost

how hard do you have to strangle yourself
before people start asking
what the bruises around your neck are from

people wouldn’t have to deal with me
being a disappointment
I have a dentist appointment today
I haven’t eaten in a few days
at least my teeth will be fine

her skin is a masterpiece
her hair is every shade of brown, bronze, and gold
her scent is intoxicating
her smile is my happiness

I just wish
I knew how to be better
she deserves
better

today I saw a butterfly
he sat next to me on the old, rusted park bench
only for a minute or so
we understood each other
him, a beautiful creature, free to travel and to explore
me, a waste of space, stuck in a cluttered, sinking hole
I could feel his pity as he fluttered away

I wish this water was vodka
or poison
anything to help
help destroy what’s happening
make me stop screwing everything up
I keep thinking that
it would be easier
for everyone
if I was gone
