METAPHORICAL CIGARETTE

By K8

I swear I'm trying to see gently instead of identifying danger 
Like oh my god that bird just ate that fish and holy shit nature is metal
I can't remember but I think it hurt so badly when I was born 
From there it only got worse but I still found strawberries sweet 
I ran around in circles figuring out how to stay alive 
I opened my knees fearless to hot pavement off some scooter high
And picked at an absolutely sick scab for weeks 
Look, you can still see it here and so many more 
At the party the awful boy joked about ashing on people
I let him have it
