I laugh for that I can no longer 

I GIVE IN!

I can take it no more,

I ain’t a bad person, 

But I’ve never claimed to be a good one

I’m no girly no princess no one’s daughter

Not labeled as anything not allied with justice or evil 

No need to ask me where I come from or where I’m going 

I am here to pass by but my existence weigh merely a feather

I step away further and further every day until I fade to merge with the horizon

Do not associate yourself with me for that I shut my eyes my ears down on everything

Thank god I can stick my limbs out of the blanket to feel any cool surface

Dangling my feet off my bed to fish for the demon’s tickle

Dance, convulse, and bounce to the end of the universe

We live comfortably in my skin in our shared house

That is me and my best friend my shadow

I found bliss in darkness

I found bliss in drifting

 Lying still
