solitary confinement

don't wanna watch VHS's with mommy

don't wanna go to my cool friend's party

tired of sleeping

tired of being

leave me alone i am trying to read

don't wanna hear your voice

unless you're a black dream

i'll be stuck in the 90s

i wanna stay in bed and

learn of crime and activism

and buy things i don't need

i wanna burn Christian pamphlets

and never watch tv

i wanna stop being reminded

that there's no one like me

i wanna bandage those kids

that scrape their knees

i don't wanna

think anymore

there's nothing i can connect to

and i don't wanna

anymore

leave me alone
