These walls are too close together
their shoulders are too broad

The ceiling is too low
for their high egos

I am a big girl
in a small room

where no one moves

The walls weren't always strong
and more times than not rain got in
The cracks would grow with my bones
and the attic was cloudy
The dirt would get dug into
mud covering the yard

Burning and thrashing
your skin is melting into mine
your heart and your lungs a ball of fury
burning and burning
until they are gone
your bones falling to the ground
laid in a pile of misfortune

you started a fire in me
a fire so strong
it burnt my walls down
you couldnt handle it
it blazed for days
months
years
before it burned everything down
and you were nowhere to be found

you snap me in half
wondering why im not filled with flowers
when youve stopped watering me
long ago

my ribs crack when you breathe
your hands rough on my shoulders as you crack my back
my insides spilling into you
you pull me apart
you sew me back together
you pull the strings
my body moves
only for you

It's eerily silent in the dull
classroom
No one speaks
Only the sound of clicking keyboards fill the room
But it is loud and I am dizzy
The floor is falling from beneath my fidgeting feet
Cracks go up the wall and spider off
Pieces of the ceiling fall down
No one moves
No one notices
The dust makes the air thick
Its hard to breathe as
A question interrupts the silence
No one is coughing but me
My face is red and my lungs are full
