Dear Self
These shoes on my feet, I don't need them
walking barefoot, I'll have no shame
And the snacks in my bag are for you, dear
as long as it eases your pain
I'll carry the weight on your shoulders
to take the pain off your back
And if that makes me Atlas, it's fine
as long as it's pain that you lack
And that knife in your side, stab me
and the ache in your sould, let it have me
And if that makes the pain of your life go away,
then please, let the inferno at me
Take the clothes off my back
and the fruit of my life
In return, I'll take your bullets
so hand me that knife.
