my mouth seems sewn shut
im becoming quiet through the noise
the world is loud and obsessive
i cant look now
for my wings are already out
spread out, shadowing others
my mouth is quiet
but my actions are loud

I thought my words were something to them
My wit ends and my soul dies
my emotions are enclosed in brackets
bent and inward, bottling up till i overflow
i have found that keep emotions in helps for awhile
but i always get hurt at the end
still i continue doing it
to never let anyone in
i have broken my wall before
and i have just broken again

Right in the mirror, i see definitions
My jawline, my hair, my eyes
The carved up sides of my exposed cheeks

To the stretch marks on my body,
i love and hate you
You are my progress and my downfalls
The purples and blue forever turning into pale fair skin

To my eye bags,
you keep me up at night,
but remind me what i'm studying
I'm trying to succeed, to be happy

To the lead stuck in my leg,
you will remind me of my childhood
you will remind me of the days that i worked and played
Tussling on both marble and grass

To the shaking in my palms,
you keep me steady and yet make me fear
You keep me modest and simple
The only thing i wanted

To my chapped lips,
you remind me that i am not taking care of myself
and how i need to improve on my being
You remind me of the words coming out
and the smiles that grow on you

To the speckles on my stomach,
you make me happy
you remind me of the stars
and how one day i may reach them

To my whole body and self,
I love everything about you.

I'd like to think that i wasn't blocked out
Whatever i do someone will disagree
and i understand that completely
but the only thing i don't understand
is how someone can injure another so easily?

I wish i was Icarus, brave and bold
Flying towards the sun with no worries

I wish i was Psyche, soulful and proud
With butterflies and her silver crown

I wish i was Pan, wild and free
with animals and nowhere to be

I wish i was a Muse, talented and seen
with a voice of careless beauty

I wish i was a legend, old and wise
with stories to tell and no binds

But i am myself, loud and spoken
I'm taught by stories, and i want to be one too
