My brain endlessly plays tricks on me like a drunk and a straight line. Calling me out for every imperfection each time my heart beats. exerting all my strength i try to break way; a never ending black hole swallowed me deep. im lost. I use to wake up with my feet glued to the floor, now i hardly get gum stuck to my shoe. numb, i feel fear flourish throughout my chest. my armor, my protector. keep me clear of that hope. smother my light before it ignites.
