Scar garden
  Don’t ask me who I am,
  because I haven’t the faintest idea.
  Don’t ask me what I am,
  the only word that comes to mind is wrong.
  But most importantly,
  do not ask me where I am.
  Because I do know the answer.
  it is a despicable place.
  A dark hearted scar garden
  and I’m trapped here with my thoughts
  because the gate has got a padlock
  that I don’t know the combination to.
  And I’m sick of being here because
  the trees are toxic, and the fruit is poison,
  So I starve here
  waiting and walking and thinking
  navigating through twisted pathways,
  thorn lined trails.
  Never daring to rest,
  because the animals in the garden are vicious
  and I fight with them all day long.
  It’s lonely here.
  It’s exhausting here.
  how is it possible to live in such a place?
  It’s not.
  out of the possible outcomes
  Death or Escape
  I do not know which is more likely.
  All I know is that I must make a choice.
  And I must make it today.

honestly this isn't my favorite piece, it was rushed and quick and written in frustration, but it's raw and real and sometimes it's ok to forget about technicalities.
