all these girls
have bracelets
on their left wrists
vicious vocabularies
oh
so
traumatic
bury yourself alive
in syllables and consonants
you’ll still
choke
on them
positivity is overrated
right?
let’s all go down
in roses
[ and vampire teeth ,
for good measure ]
red-eyed
red-tongued
love for some
and some have none

positivity is a lost art.
(from back when “emo” was still popular.)
