I used to think you were a mad bull in the chinaΒ Β cabinet of my life Raging Smashing While I sat frozen on the floor watching the pieces of my life fall around me But now I realize that You never meant to hurt me You didn't try to hurt me You are not an angry bull It's not you that is breaking everything It's me I am as unstable as a drunk rhinoceros walking a tightrope, I sway Trying to stay sane, functional Terrified of falling into insanity Overthinking brain drawing emotions into everything My own darkness pressing into me I curl tightly into a ball Trying to hold my pieces together Writing poetry Thinking that you were the problem When the problem All along Was Me
