Black Cats

I wanted a black cat
That could protect me
From all of the monsters
That were hiding
And I wanted a white cat
So I could feel serene
Inside of a house
As chaotic as me
And I
Wished I could be a fish
And swim around
In a bowl
Then I’d
Only live for a day
And remember nothing
As I lied in my grave
I wished I could go deaf
But instead I’m blinded
From all of the throw up
That splashed in my eye
And now I have glasses
As thick as the skin
You forced me to grow
When I was a kid
And I
Wish I could go in the mosh pit
And let out all the anger
You left me with
But I’m
Scared of breaking all my bones
Cuz now we can’t afford
Health insurance
As I laid in bed
I dreamt of your sweaters
Turning into monsters
Living in my head
The gruesome kind
That drink ten bottles of wine
Smoking camel blues
Under the dying porch light
And as
I laid down in the grass
I hoped
The blades would be sharp against my back
So I’d have
An excuse
For the scratches
I left on my neck
And I was only a kid
When the nightmares started ruling my skin
And I grew afraid
That reality was more deadly to me
