i cant stop asking for help
i don’t know how much longer
i can embarrass myself
scratching at a wall
as if it would respond
screaming without ever opening my mouth
if i could just let my thoughts rot
in the sick hole
they carved into my head
i would
but they keep oozing out of my eyes
my ears
my nose
i can see them when i look at myself
staining my lips
two decades of pain, leaking
like a strong woman's spine
and the bathroom walls
i cant get it all out
even if i use my hands
even when i know nobody will actually help
i unfolded at some point
an unfinished origami crane
and i cant seem to cover myself back up
