Within myself
Asleep.
No
I try to sleep
With my hands close to me
Anti social, maybe?
Fear of intimacy, maybe?
No
Not really
I sleep with my hands close to me
The physical action
Of crawling inside myself
Crawling inside myself
As if I will be safe there
Within myself
Crawling inside myself
Within myself
If I could
I'd rip my chest open
And crawl
Further inside myself
As if I'd be safe there
As if my hands
Inside my chest
Could grab my heart
Slow it down
Inside myself
Or
Within myself
Would I find
my own hands there
Already
Inside myself
Forcing my heart
To beat this uncontrollable ryhthm
That makes me
Crawl
Inside myself
I can't seem to fix
What's broken
Within myself
Even if I could crawl inside myself
I know
I know
It won't get better
Fool myself into thinking it's better
For myself
Broken, inside
And out
It's not safe
Inside myself
I know within myself
I have to get out myself...
