I got tired of
danger and so now
I spend my nights in twentyfour hour
diners,
drowning my ever raucous
thoughts in black coffee and
attempting to quell my
infatuation with precipice. I smear
ink into paper instead of
mascara down my
cheeks.

The author's comments:
This piece details my reclusion into myself following a traumatic event. I restrained myself from everything even remotely hazardous; whether that is a good or bad thing is up to the reader.
