umber sun tipped trees
this days morning starts for me-
common walk as such.

amidst the woods path
remains of a blue door stand-
uneasiness on.

mildew covered steps
some strewn about fallen leaves-
and what is that sound?

that beckons enter
many softly quite scratchings-
hurry, hurry on.

the thing about "mental"
cases is interesting
they stay in one spot

coughing, drinking tea
in the system, not going
anywhere, remind

you of someone? now
if I left would anyone
notice? no...they'd be...

"good riddance, he's nuts"
I did when someone else irl
died, schizo, but one

reminded me of his
humanity, but I hang
around...pray i kill

myself so you have
one less mental case, on here
leaving scrawls on here
