I Invent New Wounds

I Keep A Clean Shirt For Bad News

A Steady Voice I Do Not Recognize

Everybody Thinks I Am Surviving

I Am Just Good At Postponing The Crash

I Do Not Stumble Into Trouble I Blueprint It

Every Disaster Wears My Handwriting

I Do Not Need Enemies I Have Patterns

They Work Overtime Without Asking Me

I Can Smell A Good Thing Before It Rots

So I Leave First To Control The Loss

They Call It Intuition I Call It Rehearsing

The End Before The Beginning Gets Ideas

I Do Not Bleed I Invent New Wounds

I Turn Open Sky Into A Closing Room

I Do Not Need Fate I Am The Knife In The Dark

I Sabotage Peace Before It Starts

If You Are Looking For Mercy You Are Late To The Crime

I Learned How To Ruin Things Right On Time

I Keep Receipts For The Moments I Lost

Not For Proof Just To Stay My Own Boss

I Do Not Regret I Audit

I Figure Out Which Dream Was Too Honest

They Say I Am Hard To Love I Correct Them

I Am Impossible To Finish

I Do Not Ghost I Evaporate

I Leave No Address For The Better Days

I Do Not Bleed I Invent New Wounds

I Draft Exits Inside Open Arms

I Do Not Fall Apart I Pre Collapse

I Practice Ruin Until It Feels Like Math

If Peace Is A Language I Fake The Accent

Then Disappear When I Am Asked To Translate

I Do Not Trust Anything That Stays

I Do Not Trust Anything That Wants Me

The Quiet Scares Me More Than Screams

Because Quiet Gives Me Time To Think

And Thinking Is Where The Damage Learns To Talk

You Do Not Fix A Man Like Me

You Document Him

I Do Not Bleed I Manufacture Loss

I Turn Almost Into Almost Was

I Do Not Need Storms I Am The Weather

I Ruin Futures With Present Tense

If You Wonder Why Nothing I Touch Survives

It Is Because I Learned Control By Cutting Life

They Will Say I Am Healing

That Is The Lie I Use

To Keep Inventing New Wounds
