I forgot to eat today
For like the 4th time this week
I pushed away one of the 3 things my body needs
To feel completely sane
I stayed up too late on Tuesday
Haven’t been drinking enough water lately
Been having coffee for like 6 square meals a day
But the caffeine just don’t cut it like it used to
It just quickens my blood
You called me up to ask about my day
Then you asked if I ate today
And all that I could think to say was
Oh, I’ve got worms for brains
They control the part of me that swears it’s always missing something
I can’t put nothin’ on my plate when there’s too much on my plate
How will I be present when my body wastes away again?
“No, like, literal worms. like, i was just chillin’ one day and a bunch of maggots came and ate my brain… and now they live there. it’s actually kind of funny when you think about it, like the visual… like literal worms for brains.”
