I
said hello
to
the death songs inside me.
I
caressed the safety razor
I
used to shave my legs.
I
couldn’t force myself
to
carve the flesh of my wrists.
I
asked my mother
to
move so I could reach
the
cabinet under the kitchen sink:
I’ll
drink Drano.
I’ll
kill myself.
No,
you won’t, said
Mother
and
told me to set the table.
in the poem "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
