sweet hibiscus tea

{ROXIE BLACKWOOD}

here's the thing
I can't do anything right
try as I absolutely totally might

{ELLIE MAXWELL}

the bones are melting
the skeleton is ash
the clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash

{ASTRID SVENSSON}

and I'm not your protagonist
I'm not even my own

{LUCIE DAVID}

I don't know anything
I don't even know what I don't know

{LAURA EASTON}

and if you look outside you'll see disintegrating trees
the artificial way the sunlight bounces off the waxy leaves

{DANNY LEWIS}

my heart catches on every thorn
you're already half way out the door

{ALTHEA HOLT}

and I've never looked so old
and god it's never been so cold
and it is 85 degrees
I don't know what I need

{VALERIA GARCIA}

there's lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea
on the hot garbage pile in which I fucking sleep

{ELLIE MAXWELL}

the walls are empty
it's so ugly, I could burn the whole place down
it wouldn't catch cause all the posters are on their way to my hometown

{AURORA MATTHEWS}

and I am not your protagonist
I'm not even my own

{LAURA EASTON}

I don't know anything
I don't even know what I don't know

{ROXIE BLACKWOOD}

and if you look outside you'll see disintegrating trees
the artificial way the sunlight bounces off the glitching leaves

{LUCIE DAVID}

my wet heart catches on every thorn
you're already half way out the door

{ELLIE MAXWELL}

and I'm so tiny and so old
and god it's never been so cold
and it is 85 degrees
I don't know what I need
