May 2019
I tried to run
I wanted to escape
From the chains I've locked
Around my wrists
And the shackles
Weighing down my feet
But I can't try what you all do
So I make up my own
My routines to flee
From this crippling sense
Of reality
And you tell me it's dangerous
But I honestly don't care
I almost hope it is
And you wouldn't let me
Try anything else
So I guess I'm just
Desperate
So here I am, low again with a pounding head, shaking hands, and a nauseous stomach, but I never broke a law.

Maybe if I didn't have to save face all the time, I would be able to finally heal.
