I’ll Love Myself.

Poem submitted by Micah Rodriguez

The tears burn holes in my clothes.

Stains me with whatevers.

I cry for long,
Too long to cry.

Treads my winds,
How free am I?

The blinding lights dark my soul.

Living life on the side.

I don’t know why,
So why should I?

Crosses my mind,
I wanna die.
