TW: Death, Mortality, Grief
This salad would be better with bacon
And the chicken that I have eschewed
But I've chosen to try to be veggie
Though lack of flavor does naught for my mood
These thoughts I have seem like delusions But never have I felt quite this sane Strange thinking your beliefs may be baseless And believing those things all the same
Time will surely tell if I’m crazy I wonder if you already know This tiefling’s mind cracking and broken Your kindness letting these fantasies grow
“If only you’d try” they say, shaking their heads My dismissive shrug met with frustration Truth, this place is petty cruelties Suffering with their implicit blessing, so why should I care?
