the robbers

alicia has seen robbers
beating all her friends
she was knocked unconscious
and woke up without them

alicia spends four months in bed
held down tight and sometimes force-fed
then she goes back to sleep thinking of her friends
to say hello to them

alicia can't hold a pen straight
so her mother asks her to wait
she spends the day at home instead
not knowing what those three forms said

alicia is in a lot of pain
while in the doctor's office she lets out a shout
she covers her ears when he tries to explain
because he doesn't know what he's talking about

the next ten months turn into the last
she doesn't think it's going to get better
so she slits her throat open
it hurts very much

but she doesn't let anyone talk about it
because none of that ever happened
so don't ask her for any details
she doesn't remember them

alicia has seen robbers
beating all her friends
then pushing her down
to grab something of hers
but she won't say what

alicia has seen robbers
who took something dear to her
and she can never ever die
