Iโ€™m in my bedroom. Iโ€™m sitting on my bed.

I canโ€™t help but think about you, and how perfect we would be together.

I know youโ€™re way too good for me.

I hear the doors slam, voices scream.

I know I have other worries.

Theyโ€™re fighting again.

I want to go away.

I do not have a girl like figure.

I hate my laugh.

Iโ€™m thinking of how good it would feel to have friends.

Iโ€™m alone.

I have never hurt myself on purpose.

But I think about it. And I think about

What it would be like,

And what it would do to me.

Theyโ€™re still fighting.

I want to leave.

He slaps her.

She shoves him away.

They wonโ€™t shut up,

Will not stop.

I donโ€™t want to be here.

I creep out to the garage, unnoticed.

I can hear them fighting.

Even from all the way out here.

Iโ€™m going to leave.

Thereโ€™s a bike.

Itโ€™s a motorcycle.

Itโ€™s mine.

It will be mine. 

I donโ€™t know how to ride.

Iโ€™m going to leave.

They donโ€™t have a clue.

Up and over, turn and lift.

Itโ€™s on.

Itโ€™s backing out. Itโ€™s running.

I shift the gears.

Iโ€™m barely tall enough to reach.

Itโ€™s loud. I pull the right handle down. Iโ€™m off.

In the mirror I see them come out of the house.

She collapses. He just stares.

Iโ€™m gone.

Going fast.

Not slowing down. Iโ€™m out on the road.

Iโ€™m all wobbly.

I canโ€™t stop. Iโ€™m too scared to stop.

Red light. I canโ€™t stop.

I canโ€™t stop. Canโ€™t stop.

I speed up. I go head-on into the middle of traffic.

I canโ€™t stop.

I crash.

Theyโ€™re not fighting right now. Not that I can hear.

Face up. I see blue. Turn I see red. I see gray. I see nothing.

I hear horns. I hear screams. Voices. Sirens.

I hear nothing.
