advice to the ruined

i watched the dance

the dance about what is wrong with me

it contained the passion i have lacked these past few years

as i've been taught to control myself

 

*advice to the ruined:

do not let them dull you*

 

i read a story i wrote 3 years ago

the diction, the creativity, the piece was pure genius and passion

now my mind can not even think of a line to put down

 

*advice to the ruined:

do not let them dull you*

 

i used to cry on the spot

everything was so close to the surface

and now...

for hours i dig

and dig

deep inside myself

but every trigger that i try to set off has been diminished by one therapist or another

and the knot that is tightening right below my heart needs to be cried out

but i can not reach it

 

*advice to the ruined:

do not let them dull you*

 

when i was little i had so many boyfriends

i fell in love in the blink of an eye

and i shone with a light that erased the sun

when i was held by someone i could barely stand my skin holding me in

now...

it scares me to have *******

and i don't know if anyone is squeezing my **** or not

 

*advice to the ruined:

do not let them dull you*
