Temporary Insanity (How long is temporary?)

“ The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that’s the essence of inhumanity.”

Goerge Bernard Shaw

I am thirteen,

and I fall

From youth.

I drink vodka

in the woods

I trash.

I pollute my

body pure,

with drugs.

To me, the woods

are struck dead

and gone.

I hate me and

you and them.

I’m done.

I abuse both

body and

forest.

Nothing matters.

I’m filled with

not caring.

I stay angry,

until the dawn

rouses me.
