look back at me
i’m so worried i won’t be me
when they look back at me.
i don’t talk as much as i used to.
do they miss the noise, or do
they miss the girl?
unproblematic.
sleeps like a rock without
watching the world burn
every night.
wears frilly skirts and
eyeball rings every tuesday.
tells her classmates she’s satan,
wears devil ears every day.
doesn’t like cheeseburgers.
talks to everyone she can.
i can’t remember her too well.
only the little things i thought
would be important.
i would’ve worn those devil
ears until the day i died
if they hadn’t broke.
i love cheeseburgers.
i hate frilly things
and dresses.
i still name everything i see.
i hate people.
all of them.
i wish i could find her,
tell her i was sorry
for becoming
me.
