the day i woke up from my suicideit was cold, yet hot,
a fever.
i am surprised,
as though I didn't fill myself with poison

mind's eyenot grounding mentality
in bounds of reality
vows turn unverifiable
truth becoming pliable
judgments unreliable
when the working of our brain

The DollThere once was a doll
Bruised and battered
Slanted on a wall

When the girl was small

She fell along with her doll
