my eyelids feel starched as though they'd been bleached. don't reach for my soul. i have nothing to reach. i want to scratch myself until i bleed. i want to purge me of wanting and need. i want to break from this husk that im in. i want to be devoid of feeling and sin.
i want to jump out and i want to scream. i cant be a wheel in this human machine. i want a heart, but one without disease. i want to be myself completely at ease. i want a life back; i want to feel pain. i want nothing to lose but something to gain. i want what i cant have--true beauty and wealth. i dont want my body. i dont need my health.
i want to see what is good in my life. i want to not be afraid of the knife. i want to feel like nothing is barred. i want to die and go straight to the stars. i want to be someone whom others adore. forget what i have. i cant take anymore.

"i want to jump out and i want to scream. i can’t be a wheel in this human machine. i want a heart, but one without disease. i want to be myself completely at ease. i want a life back; i want to feel pain. i want nothing to lose but something to gain. i want what i can’t have--true beauty and wealth. i don’t want my body. i don’t need my health."
This whole stanza rocks! with this minor exeption...
"i want a heart, but one without disease..."
maybe...
I want a heart, one free of disease,
To be myself, completely at ease.
