With shoulders stretched wide encompassing a troop, a group, a herd. With a voice loud enough To hide the whispers, The echoes, the pleas. I embraced, enveloped Everyone within reach Fought battles with my own arms No allies, no shadows Just foes and rivals and enemies. The sunshine faded And gave way to twilight With twilight came misery And thoughts crept into my mind The what ifs and when wills shook the walls Of the container, the flask, The ****** empty room. They shook and shook and shook Till it broke Till everything broke loose Havoc. Chaos. Turmoil. I thrashed and thrashed and thrashed. I wept my tears dry Crouched underneath, Like a hurt kitten, a terrified rabbit. Till I came apart. With every whisper, and every plea. The soul mended itself. The broken mirror, got back together Glued. Frayed. Cracked. Yet together.

Stretched.
With shoulders stretched wide encompassing a troop, a group, a herd. With a voice loud enough To hide the whispers, The echoes, the pleas. I embraced, enveloped Everyone within reach Fought battles with my own arms No allies, no shadows Just foes and rivals and enemies. The sunshine faded And gave way to twilight With twilight came misery And thoughts crept into my mind The what ifs and when wills shook the walls Of the container, the flask, The ****** empty room. They shook and shook and shook Till it broke Till everything broke loose Havoc. Chaos. Turmoil. I thrashed and thrashed and thrashed. I wept my tears dry Crouched underneath, Like a hurt kitten, a terrified rabbit. Till I came apart. With every whisper, and every plea. The soul mended itself. The broken mirror, got back together Glued. Frayed. Cracked. Yet together.
