Episode

by @jrt100403

Having an episode…is realizing that you are a disaster Realizing the existence of the tsunami that you hold back With your glass walls and hearing them crack But you have to hold everything in anyways Or else the bloodshed committed by your hands will be unforgivable It is having people screaming that you are lovable But rejecting every single word Because they do not understand just how much of a monster you are Having an episode…is realizing that you are destruction It is seeing hugs, cuddles and kisses in the streets Dreaming of wholesome dates in coffee shops and stargazing on roof tops Hearing the words “I love you, I love you too” in movie scripts and love songs Knowing that you could never have that Because the love of others can bloom like blossoms in the spring But yours spreads like English Ivy and thorns that suffocates everything in its path It’s better to suffocate yourself instead…why attempt to make blossoms for others when someone else’s heart can do it so much better than yours? Having an episode…is realizing that it is happening again Seeing yourself in the mirror turn morph someone else Somehow your world never spins around you But your world is pulled in by the gravity of others Somehow the self you are supposed to be spirals into a nebula of mirrors where your reflection is filled with twisted obsessions It’s to the point where the self you are supposed to be no longer exists Having an episode…is bolting every time someone glances at an exit sign Because without them, who are you supposed to be? If they leave, your world is gone…you are gone Without them, there is no you No…you leave first…you need to let them go Because if you exit first, there is no way you can see them exit It is splitting a person in two, into day and night They are both god and demon The pinnacle of perfection and the lowest of the disgraceful Their presence is the sun and I am icarus Their absence is the moon where I am a lone wolf longing for it’s cool warmth Having an episode…is realizing that no matter what, you are always a puppet Everything you do, every step you take, every emotion you feel, is all for them It does not matter how free you feel, no matter what, there will always be shackles on your wrist It’s funny how the home I feel the safest is filled with chains and bars It’s knowing that no matter what, there is no way to escape this sentence There will always be a master, a puppeteer…it does not matter whether they see you as a person or an object at their disposal You are bound to them and you can’t leave Episodes… It is only premier after premier Pilot episode after pilot episode Until the screen shatters and the wires are severed, there will be no finale
