Cruelty of measurement
No need to hide from the monster
Underneath your bed.
We have hope when we have fear…
Monsters don’t exist around us anymore
We chain our hands together
So we won’t hurt other.
We hide our hearts
Beneath ribcages because
We are scarred of losing our minds…
Reinforced with reckless behavior
Are those who call themselves proud…
Chips in my teeth proof
That I have gnarled through this dream…
My tears have dried up
For time has passed
But inside of us…
A nightmare…
But I’m still
And stuck
In the same dimension
