in the silence of my room… I
dance the loudest,
pray the longest
cry the ugliest,
laugh the modest,
dream the youngest,
stare at empty walls for promise,
break down the strongest,
overthink within a guilty conscience,
play out my scenarios worthy of their flowers
planting fields of doubt for all my anxieties
to have a fruitful harvest

in the silence of my room… I
am truly at my honest.

If I could only tell you
You're not alone
I would
If I could only tell you
I know
That when the world is sleeping
You silence your cries
But you still hope to be heard
I would
If I could only tell you
I hear your heart
Screaming for someone to understand
I would

If it means one less hurting person
I'd tell you
You are loved, heard, and understood.

They said she was as delicate as glass
When in reality she was as delicate as a bomb

what more can be said
we have swapped DNA
under a microscope
-built into our phones

fizzled out
coming to a stop

the firework falls spent
blackened shell back to Earth
