Dr. Asclepius called me;
he told me i'm bipolar
(i still say it's luxuria)
My prescription?
Fucking medicine.
Take two pills:
Doctor's Orders
(as if anyone actually
obeys those, anyway)
Take another pill.
One for each time
you looked at me,
then two more if
i had looked back.
i'll take one more for that time you
branded fake <3's on my forehead
and another because your smile burns.
ten more for every mistake in my gums,
another six because i forgot dental floss,
four more because i still don't love you,
then twenty-six more because i just lied.
(another two just in case;
we can never be too safe)
Note to Self:
If our hipbones bump,
take a provocative pill.
If our ringtones crash,
take seven more pills.
If you understand this,
take an alluring dosage,
and call yourself in the
mo(u)rning, to make sure
we're still alive, because
there's a chance we won't
we ignored the warnings:
Do not mix with alcohol;
do not operate machinery
or drunk-dial your lovers.
side effects may include
(but are not limited to)
multiple personalities,
outbursts of psychosis,
myocardial infarctions,
and kidney failure
Lesson learned:
don't drink and
daydream. And
never again will
i,
shall take the recommended
amount of colored-capsules,
50,000 because my pharmacist is a bitch
and eighteen bottles because i do(es)n't
deserve to be capitalized; not unlike 'u'
i'm popping pills like there's no tomorrow,
but if you think about it, tomorrow's fake.
we're living separately in one long day;
in that case, take another fucking bottle,
and alleviate this pain–
one milligram at a time.

- add them up and our equation becomes: eight empty bottles of antidepressants + seven dozen empty bottles of Bacardi - nine pints of Blood in my kitchen sink. = one hell of a talk with your neighbors.

promise to play this on silent
hello
just promise me youre listening.
since once you get used to being ignored for long enough, its nice to pretend that you could be something. that you could say something that matters. and that somewhere, someone is listening. and for now, ill make believe that youll make everything better. that the air will taste like sunshine even though its been raining for days. or that my heart isnt disconnected and that maybe my lips will get the message. or even that for the next two and half minutes youll love me.
ill make believe.
ill make believe you.

Confession Three
One day I'm going to sit down
and learn that my bones
are made of calcium
not candy canes,
that smoking isn't poetic
and that bitten nails
aren't a sign of intelligence.

compulsive liar.
once i asked you your favourite
colour, and you said, "the brown
of your eyes," so i put in one green
contact and told everyone that i
came out of the womb as a factory
defect, half-priced, damaged goods.
-
sometimes i am from canada and
sometimes i am from england and
sometimes i am from spain.
i've carefully tempered my accents
and plotted out my stories with
yellow and purple coloured pencils
on index cards. my origin changes
like the seasons.
"why do you lie to everyone?" you
ask.
"why not?" i reply.
-
i wear nametags that read "alicia"
and "liana" and "samantha," because
i want to know how it feels to be
someon
