I have made myself a box.
You can try and find the key,
But I won’t let you open me.
I am safe behind the locks.

I have made myself a stone.
You will never make me break,
No matter what offense I take.
I am strongest on my own.

I have made myself a knife.
If you want my heart, take heed,
Push too hard and you will bleed.
I am fighting for my life.

sometimes i get sad about
knowing i am going to
eventually
die
and, to keep on
i think, yes
eventually
perhaps even this afternoon
but at least i have
the sunrise

my heart

is left
confused
broken
hurt
etc
etc
etc.

all the
feelings
which y o u
possibly can't
feel as you
walked
     o f f.
