May My

may my skin shrivel and wither and decay in retribution for its flaws

may my brain smooth and fail in retribution for thinking i deserve anything

may my legs break and shatter in retribution for taking me anywhere that my brain thinks i deserve

may my eyes pop and go blind in retribution for allowing me to read books even though they know i deserve nothing good

may my wrists and hands and fingers cramp and fall off in retribution for allowing me to write down any of my stupid ideas

may my ability to create anything good in the the world be revoked, the delusion of being anything more than the worm i am fade away

may my existence be erased in retribution for ruining everyone’s lives

I wrote it in the midst of a depressive episode, and I had to write all my feelings down and get them out before I did something I would regret later.
