our Converses are like the spectrum of our
Technicolor predicaments:
repression – depression
nervosa overload
obsessive && obsessive com(pulse)ive
panic /eating/ and mental disorders
spit out
puke up
throw around neon insults
like tag on acid.
and hear our petty problems but
don’t acknowledge our
home-baked solutions
burnt red from the blood soup
boiling in our veins
and frothing out every pore
because we are teenagers
and we need to crack
to become broken.
beautifully.
