shame, though.


when you say that you’re desperate, wanting to die
keep shouting about it at bus stops, on streets,
in bars;
in your booze-soaked,
smoke-stained apartment
to all of your diaries, socials and blogs,

and then suddenly

you turn to whisper;
muttering something 
just under your breath,

yet somehow

you aren’t in a hurry
and outright refuse
to tighten
the goddamn
noose.
