Take it away
Away from me
It only causes
Captivity
I want it gone
But I guarantee
It won’t be long
Until you give it back to me

People like us
Don’t care about someone’s gender
Someone’s sexuality
Someone’s skin colour
Someone’s accent
Someone’s hair
Someone’s choice
Someone’s life
And if you must care,
Then fine
Just keep it inside your head.

Some things
Won’t be in the dark forever
Surprise parties
Politician’s secrets
They all come out eventually
And it’s good that they do
But
Some things
Are better left in the dark
Scandals
Affairs
And most of all
Me

If you think that you are worthless
Just remember
I used to think that too

You say I’ve been distant as of late
The truth is I’ve just been thinking
Maybe it is only fate
That all I have left is an inkling
Broken down into a million pieces
Slits up and down my body
Old love letters with wrinkled creases
Feels like I’ve shot by a hottie
Like I’ve been stabbed in the back
By the one I love the most
Shoved into a tiny shack
But now, in post
I know that it was all worth it.

This box
That surrounds me
It mocks
All captivity
It confines me
Takes me away
Can it be
A different type of day?
It's made of glass,
I'll just break through
Show the whole world
What I can do
