i guess i just have to go through it

i guess i just have to go through it

i guess i just have to go through it. 
                                                    Entangled in
                                                                 Bedsheets Thoughts
                                                                                           Unspoken words

Words, that in some universe exist 
Woven and threaded in a quilt.
But in mine, only half-done stitches 
A tired seamstress
                                                                                                                     Rags. 

It’ll be over before i can even understand what is happening.

Losing myself in so many numbers
Measured to fit a corset too tight
But i want the air in my lungs to leave.
Sweet symphonies of suicide float on the scales

Penetrative 
Pornographic 
Pretty 
Porcelain 
Pictures
Fill my mind.

Innocence lost willingly 
i think?

The ending so far away, so close 
Times will change,
Are changing

Words lost in the tumult of teenagehood.
