Feed Me, Seymour

    Feed Me, Seymour
    Chase Garvey-Daniels
    
    it lives in dimly lit
    bathrooms and distressing whirlpools
    of self critique 
    my god, is there one?
    	i plead, dropping 
    	to my knees
    	in agony 
    the kitchen tiles 
    beckon me 
    to join the debris 
    as Ares slashes
    my stomach 
    atomizing any
    hope of making
    it back to my room 
    without being seen
    feed me, seymour! 
    	my urges
    	are just too strong
    	and I am not enough
    i breathe 
    wordless thanks
    into my pillow
    for holding me
    as robins jog
    me from purgatory
    the slow crawl
    to salvation 
    turns ugly, as
    tunnel lights 
    scamper away
    with a cheeky grin
    crumbs tumble
    down my tee
    weaving their way
    into the threads
    of my failure
    the toaster now 
    a cozy hideaway
    in which I seek
    to leap face first
    into its fire
    exonerating my
    fears, glazed in
    eternal freedom
