I'm splitting Cracking Falling apart Tightly wrapping masking tape around the cracks in my mind Telling myself out loud over and over and over again "You will be alright, just be alright" While my sub conscious screams at me to run run run
I think I am just cold And that's why I'm shaking But it's a lie I tell myself to keep from staring the truth in the face: I'm breaking Mentally Emotionally But I can't think that, so I'm cold Wrap the tape tightly, maybe this time it will hold better Don't delve into the actual problem, {what problem? There's no problem!} Don't try to fix it {hey, you are okay, you have it good! Quit thinking there is an issue, you are being dramatic} Push it down, deep deep down, don't let it surface. Lock up these negative emotions. You can fix cracks with tape, right? But these aren't cracks, they are fault lines and my earth is shaking and moving, breaking these open and no amount of tape is ever going to stop it. Hush hush hush You are fine you are okay. You are fine You are okay
