things i'm not ashamed to admit
By SummerCoat
I’m not ashamed to admit
that when no one is around
I sometimes throw a fit.
When I can’t sleep,
I cry
and think of different ways to die.
I light cigarettes on the toaster
and I stare at my Kurt Cobain poster.
I worry about how I’m going to live
when I grow up.
Every time I fix a drink
I use a new cup.
I sit in the bathtub for hours
and after that, I always shower.
I’ve been known to blow my nose on socks.
I crumple all my writings
and keep them in a box.
My clothes are never folded
and always on the floor.
I’ve resolved the last 4 new years’
not to cut myself anymore.
I can’t use the bathroom
without closing the door.
I sleep with too many pillows
so my neck is often sore.
I could go on,
there’s more.
But unfortunately
I’m also easily bored.

Hmm, this was fun. I don't mean that bad, there is a very mixed perspective here, a kind of sinister acceptance, and the rhyme kept me reading without pause. Well done indeed! Orion
