(Now I know this says “something” but I’m going to make it “someone” if that even makes sense)

(Still the prompt! Ish… lol 😆)

Meds

Wash it down

Make it go away

Calm down

Put the blade away

My mind screams

I only wanted to help people

In my younger days

I wanted to be a police officer

Or a detective

Playing cops and robbers

I wanted to grow up

to help the world

Funny how that ships a sail

When you wake up realizing

You’re a Cannibal

Always have been

Just been tucked away

Hiding in a safe place

For one day when

It decides to crawl out

Plague my mind

Plague my eyes

I wanted to be a police officer

But now I’m standing staring at him

My little brother

Knife in hand

Almost killed a pregnant woman

Her boyfriend

And my parents too

My cousin was there

Who knew?

Forgot about her until now

But so what?

I held a knife crazed expression

I wasn’t terrified

I wasn’t nervous or nauseous

I was just worried I’d get caught

Damn how heartless

But I don’t care anymore

I’d do it again

But uncertainty is too powerful

I’m too young to go to jail

Due to miscalculations

Oh well I guess I’ll have to wait

A little longer

Cops and robbers

I wonder how often

They wanted to switch roles

Funny

I wanted

To

Be

A

Police

Officer
