a shaky breath drawn in
a tear slips out
i tried to defend myself
and put up walls
but im not as tortured and guarded as i thought
or maybe
i don't need walls
because i don't need anything to be kept out
the dripping black demons are all inside me
i am my own tormentor
my walls don't work because they keep the monsters inside
forever trapped in a diaphragm cage
