I’m in my bedroom. I’m sitting on my bed.
I can’t help but think about you, and how perfect we would be together.
I know you’re way too good for me.
I hear the doors slam, voices scream.
I know I have other worries.
They’re fighting again.
I want to go away.
I do not have a girl like figure.
I hate my laugh.
I’m thinking of how good it would feel to have friends.
I’m alone.
I have never hurt myself on purpose.
But I think about it. And I think about
What it would be like,
And what it would do to me.
They’re still fighting.
I want to leave.
He slaps her.
She shoves him away.
They won’t shut up,
Will not stop.
I don’t want to be here.
I creep out to the garage, unnoticed.
I can hear them fighting.
Even from all the way out here.
I’m going to leave.
There’s a bike.
It’s a motorcycle.
It’s mine.
It will be mine.
I don’t know how to ride.
I’m going to leave.
They don’t have a clue.
Up and over, turn and lift.
It’s on.
It’s backing out. It’s running.
I shift the gears.
I’m barely tall enough to reach.
It’s loud. I pull the right handle down. I’m off.
In the mirror I see them come out of the house.
She collapses. He just stares.
I’m gone.
Going fast.
Not slowing down. I’m out on the road.
I’m all wobbly.
I can’t stop. I’m too scared to stop.
Red light. I can’t stop.
I can’t stop. Can’t stop.
I speed up. I go head-on into the middle of traffic.
I can’t stop.
I crash.
They’re not fighting right now. Not that I can hear.
Face up. I see blue. Turn I see red. I see gray. I see nothing.
I hear horns. I hear screams. Voices. Sirens.
I hear nothing.
