people are scum, girl

so run and don’t look back

just

drift into outer space on a magic carpet

and

leave behind

those human stains

until the air in your lungs runs out

and

you end up being reborn

in the heart of some faraway

star

the details are not important

whether or not it’s fact or fiction is

besides the point

just believe what you want

to believe

the opinion and approval of others is

as worthless as piss

so go ahead

piss

on them

if you wish

they won’t even

notice
