Scorpion Sting

A Boy With Roses

the first time I slit my wrists                                                                                              

lost in existential nihilism, I was intent                                                                                  

told myself today is the end                                                                                            

there is no future for me, when the flowers are dead                                                        

and when I look at the sky I see darkness                                                                    

sweet emptiness filling my stomach at seventeen                                                            

I never could've imagined how fucked up things would be                                                                                

how shit I feel, looking at you                                                                                                

loving mother disappearing into silence                                                                                            

glad those vines have grown over the wounds                                                        

because when the blood is seeping and the drugs don't work                                              

I bleed pearls until it hurts                                                                                            

until I'm so far into my own insanity                                                                                                    

I see myself in troubled skies, sleeping when I should be                                    

violently dreaming of paradise.
