EGO BRUISED

theglasschild:

I think there is hope for us,
if we learn to clean the windows better

and the kitchen is still a mess
and my bed might fall apart any second now

but don’t worry, love,
I’ll leave and sell whatever is needed

and if you need storage for future space
I can cut some weight, shrink and reshape

and I’ve done it all before. I know the
rules I wrote myself, see

I take myself apart for people I wish to fit
for, and I’ve got plenty of tactics.

Did you know that if you chew a glass
of ice the hunger pains fade

and did you know
that the dizziness goes away if you run

for a while, and did you know

that people swallow excuses like drugs
and it’s a fun game if you play it well
and I do.

Anyway, I’ll take care of my monsters
if you take care of the basement

and I think there is hope for us
if I can learn to fit
this place
better
like
hey
make a wish, like 1–2–3
a character I’ll learn to be.
