Utter
i know i’m quite mad
when i start
biting my hands
biting my own hands
teeth digging into fingers
and i feel like laughing
very strongly
feel like laughing
but cannot
can only bite into my hands
wish only to sleep
and yet
wish only to never sleep again
wish to scream
and yet
wish only to never utter another
sound
wish to scream until
someone stuffs something in my mouth
and yet wish only
to remain silent
and bite into my hands
forever
until all the blood
and all the noise
is gone
