Hands

Slime covers esily
It’s engulfing, digesting
Like an acid dissolving with a noticeable hiss
Diffusing into the brain

And just not leaving, Never leaving
It spreads from the handprint
It dampens the cloth and drips

I shuffle

The apology reaches my ears after
But the smirk that is thrown churns my stomach
I have an urge too,
To let me throw my insides
On a cycle above 60 degrees

Let me ruin myself
Make me
Not even a chance to say no before
And now I’m just tired

It follows constantly
The colour of the shirt, the skin
Hands, hands, hands, hands
Tall, too tall

I should be grateful they didn’t.
Shouldn’t I?
I now leave a trail to follow
tainting everything, or is it tint?

The urge keeps growing
Unfortunately I’m not the only one

I just hate hands, I think

Moving what I like

Fabrics are sown
So eyes are drawn to quieter things
Softer

Scratching isn’t as unbearable as screaming
I wield control to my ears
Over the entry of theirs too
Better than taps

Pressure, expected,
Is not that intense
Leaning, relying, assisting

Mostly whispers cannot escape me
My ears with a constant ache
My head tries to convey my heart
Yet they say I cannot expel it to the outside

So the frog turns into a lion
And I cannot breathe
My intensity builds up
And it clots my heart

Eyes, eye
I don’t care, get it off me
The screams around me speak my name
Don’t they

Let me scratch more of my thoughts
The paper grows worn
And my feelings do too
Understand me

I do not want to attempt
to communicate
But your mocks make me overthink
My stomach churns the thought of my incompetence

I cannot talk,
So it’s my fault, really

Melted Watermelon

Where shall I go?
They ask of us what I cannot sacrifice,
So help.
You, scared of the void of dice,
Do not fear what you know has result,
Let their greed grind to a halt,
Their evangelism is disguised with the veneer of a mission,
As they push us back in this revolting schism,
Help us.
Retrieve our right to humanity,
Relieve the wound that has lasted eternity,
We are not dispensable.
We are amorous and intense with emotion.
Please just give your devotion.
Devote like us to this cause where we stand
Stop letting them take over with the wave of a hand.
Liberate us.
Please.
