I want
To be free
Of guilt
To extend
My arms
Scream,
And maybe
Lose my mind
In the best way

Evert night at 2 AM
Different poems are written
Different words are scribbled
Different papers are crumpled
But only one thought she had
Yet, word can't help her convey the feelings
"Empty" has much more than herself
"Sad" is not sadder than she thought
"Broken" is more whole than her
"Hurting" ain't just bleeding just like her
And when words can't take the role
It's the blade that play with her
Every cuts has meaning
Everything is her unreleased feeling
Sometimes, words are not enough to tell what we really feel and most words doesn't fit to the emotions we are holding.

It’s mysterious the way the mind works
How your self worth can just
Wither away
And how your will just falters

How looking in the mirror
Can become a thing of fear
And you pick out each
Little flaw, each imperfection
When you can’t see your ribs
- You can never see your ribs -

How helping yourself
Turns into guilt
And how everyone stares
And picks you apart
And judges

But that is not you
It is your mind
Pulling away at you
Blurring the truth
As it rots

Unfasten the mask,
The smile,
That hides the truth
And breathe in

Show the world
You are working
Towards something that
Could take a lifetime

And remember,
Tears, the truth, and falling
Are nothing to be afraid of

Please, please
Just lock me up
And throw away
The key

Send me somewhere,
Anywhere, a place
Where I can’t think

Take me far away
Where I can be
Free of worry
And the aches they bring

Please, I beg you
Just lock me up
And throw away
The key

When you feel like an intruder
In your own house
Awkward and stiff
Nervous and sick
And hide by running,
Or driving
Far, far, far
Your only wish is to breathe
Without the creeping of consequence
Without the knot in your stomach
And the chill on your skin
