Somebody will pull my rotting body out from the pond, onto the broken
wooden dock. They will bury me and they will cry for me. And then they
will go home, and then they will die. / I feel nothing in my bones, I see
nothing beyond the trees. / I give up. / I wish there was someone to stop
me. I wish I had someone to talk to, something to do. I sat in my room and
talked to myself. I looked at the world I stand on and I talked to myself.
I guess I was curious. I probably didn't know what I was doing. (When I
realized, it was too late) I was only sixteen when I ended my life. Only
sixteen when I discarded my path to a life of supposed happiness, gave it
up to the eternal cosmos. And I hadn't even realised it. Now I see my eyes
are open fully, only I can't seem to blink. I can't seem to breathe in and
I've forgotten how to run. I must have been lonely. I must still be
lonely, my eyes are drying up more than ever before and my lungs have
become five times more shallow. My legs won't move. Ever still, ever
leaving. I sat in my room and talked to myself. I hadn't realize it yet,
but I died. I sad in my room and I killed myself. / I remember New Year's
Eve. A glass of non-alcoholic champagne. We had to write our 2025 wishes
on a small piece of paper. On 0:00 I take a lighter and my wish catches
fire. I throw it in my glass and swallow it. Everyone hugs. We go outside
to watch the fireworks. Nothing is different. 1+1=2 and 2024+1=2025. I
wrote two options for fate to choose from. "Atrast laimi," the first one
felt like an obligation, "vai nomirt." A piece blew away when lighting my
paper. I wonder which part it was. I wonder if it was significant. It's
all right. I don't believe in fate either way. / Apathy. Loneliness.
Depression. You are still a teen. Everyone goes through this. Get over it.
Get over yourself. It's just winter sadness again. I know what you're
feeling. You must be on your period. Little girl doesn't know what she's
talking about. Everyone feels this way, don't think you're worth the
effort. Stop being lazy. Stop p r o c r a s t i n a t i n g. Stop making
up excuses. / Kurā brīdī jāpienāk manai pašapziņai? Es sēžu savā istabā un
laužu savu dzīvi sīkās lauskās ar aizvērtām acīm. Ja tās atskatās pretī,
es to nezinu, jo esmu pārāk aizņemta, adot segu, kas man ir par maza, ar
izdilušiem diegiem. Nē, es neskatīšos. Es padodos, taču vēl pie krituma
neesmu. Man nekad nav bijušas tik lielas bailes kā šīs. Bailes, ka man
domātā rītdiena nepienāks. Bailes, ka man tās būs jālabo pašai. Es jau
stūrēju uz klints malu ar vieglām izelpām, kad beidzot pa logu beigts
putns piespiedīs manu gāzes pedāli? Man ir apnicis karāties pusbeigtai bez
izejas, bez nobeiguma. Teikumam laiks pielikt punktu. / Cik trausli ir
dzīvot ar domāšanu bez gala. Šķiet, es jau paspēju izdomāt visas sāpes,
visus pārdzīvojumus un visus priekus, kas paredzēti vēl četrdesmit gadiem,
pa šiem astoņiem mēnešiem vien. Un jēga to visu malt no gala kā nebijušu?
Kur ir tas brīdis, tā vieta, kur var atšķirt vārdu savējo no pašradītiem
mēsliem, kas iefiltrējušies tam pa vidu? Mani nepievelk vakuums, es to
saucu pie sevis. Nodīri man ādu pirms es saprotu, ka tā ir tīra. Nodīri
man ādu pirms es saprotu. Nodīri man ādu pirms es saprotu, ka tā ir tīra.
/ Es gribu rakstīt līdz nāve. Es gribu veidot no gala jaunus skatupunktus,
tos izdzīvot un tajos iet bojā. Mana dzīve ir viena, taču punktu ir daudz.
Ka nepabeigts teikums jebkurš vārds var būt pēdējais, un es ceru uz to,
lai tas būtu šis. Tomēr es paceļu pildspalvu un uzrakstu nākamo, jo
iztirzājums ir švaks, un nobeigums ir pusvārds. Ja lasītājs neizprot manu
sacīto, tad pēc nobeiguma varēs tikai gudri spriest un tēlot lielu
sapratni. Lai viņi interpretē samaltos satura teikumus kā grib, es zinu,
ka manas domas nekad vārdos netulkojas. Un noteikti es nekad neuzrakstīšu
viņiem nobeigumu, lai kāds labāk justos par savu spriedumu. Lai analizē
katru vārdu, katru burtu, jūs tāpat mani nekad neiepazīsiet. / Es vēlos
rakstīt, es vēlos zīmēt, es vēlos tikt dzirdēta. Bet tad, kad mani kāds
ierauga, es saprotu, ka es esmu salikta no tukšiem pantiem ar piecpadsmit
rokrakstiem, jo es nespēju izvēlēties, kurš man tīk labāk. Es vēlos, lai
viņi saredz to, kā nemaz nav. / Isn't it funny? I stare in the eyes of the
mirror. Isn't it funny? Unmoving. I wish to never wake again. Humorous.
Open your eyes, you are no dreamer. / I will write and I will forget. I
will write again. / disengaged / Is it real? Is it not? Does it matter?
No. It doesn't. All we do is wait. Survival doesn't leve space for dreams,
we were all doomed from the start. / "Seize the day," they say, but there
is no day to look for. / In my dream you found my poems. You sa my wall
and all of the spiders within it. You took a wet cloth and wiped it all
off. You ripped off the pictures too. Because it's so much easier to
pretend none of it's there than to try and understand. And you hated me
for writing the things I did. For feeling the things I did. And you made
me promise to never write again. Do you really think it's that simple? Can
we all just wipe it away, pretend it was never there? / Give yourself a
scar tattoo, it will last forever and make you never forget. And you will
forever know the pain you never felt. Shape it into something you'll
regret. It's alright, you can't hate your choices more than you hate
yourself. / You know the spiders aren't really there. You kno the car
stopped at the red light. You know the sirens didn't ever go off. / Make a
cup of coffee with honey and cinnamon in the morning. Momentary
contentment never last. Maybe it's never real. / With your eyes shut look
at the world around you. Spin yourself in circles, search for something
unattainable and puke your will out when your feet can't move anymore. /
Tear your skin off to find where the signal is coming from. But even as
you reach past the bone, you refuse to open your eyes.
Empty core in cytoplasm
Of a cell
Fill it up with bitter poison
Until you're sick
Until your organism rejects
Again and again
You will never learn
So once and for all
You decide to forget
And you take it in
And your skin starts aching
And you let it eat you whole
And you die
And if you open your eyes tomorrow
to find my body washed up on a shore
[self-inflicted hypertension]
remember to water the flowers
You know
they were never to grow
with the air that we share
You are asleep
Thought too much again
Now you forget what you are
You are asleep
Thought too little again
Now you regret what you are
Paranoia
Paranoia
Paranoia
Paranoia
Paranoia
You are asleep
you will never be
what you are
She closes her eyes when I get home. She doesn't want to cry.
Is it over yet?
There are things that make me wonder if there is a point at which a person
becomes incapable of comprehending their own mind
There were no worms, you punched holes in yourself. There were no worms,
you bit your cheek until it bled.

She'll pretend she doesn't see it until I sit beheaded in her lap.
It's your own conscience which holds back on showing you the worms that eat
at your brain, so you let it tuck them in a drawer and let the dust take
over. Maybe someday somebody will find them while digging through the soil,
but it won't be you.
You write to make sense of your mind, you draw to understand your brain. But
all it does is distance further from any awareness and draw you closer to
oblivion.
It doesn't make sense. None of it does. You know it never will. And for some
reason, you continue to sink your teeth in deeper.
The constant search for everything and nothing at all, only for the worms to
sink back into the dirt the moment you lay your eyes back up on the wall.
It all falls apart once you step past the level of comprehension you've
worked so hard to reach. And then, you're not real anymore.
Once you close your eyes for half a night too long, you find them glued
together shut, you think you can pry them open with a black ink pen, you
think you remember what it was like, but your hands are tied behind your
back and the mud that covered the skin up until just below your knees is all
but clumped up down the drain in the sewer pipes below your sink. You
realize - you don't know anything.
Over and over again I wonder - why do I let myself dream?
Maybe that's all there is left of me.

I guess I can't blame you for not wanting to cry, mother.
