of course I’ve tried sunshine.
and pulling hair out by the root.

and taking more than I want.
and giving more than I can.

and calling out my own name.

and showering sitting down.
and washing my hair.
and washing my face.
and washing my hands.

and seeing my friends.
and not texting back.

and forgetting my name.
and taking my time.

and digging a grave.

and digging a grave.

(I am trying to live a life where
none of this ever happened)
