—I SHOULD BE HAPPIER NOW, SO WHY DO I FEEL THIS QUIET?

 

 

Vein

 

And they all say 

It’s amazing that

you survived.

But did I?

Do they know

something I don’t?

Should I show them 

these empties and

this stained glass? 

This scale? 

This mirror? 

This rusty blade

pressed tight to 

this vein? 

Should I?
