Slip out of your resplendence and magnificence
and break yourself into my suffocating skin
walk around, feel the demon eyes
carving out your back
searching for your heart
to crunch it in their pretty teeth
look through these tired eyes
let them rest on everything you’ve never seen before
heavy darkness choking this illuminated world
you don’t know what to do
because you feel like the world’s just going to go on
dragging your carcass along
sleep walking while everyone’s dancing
on your body, on your grave
because they don’t know that you’re dead
you’re okay, don’t worry
tell everyone that because
you’re hiding nothing
you’re happy on the inside too
but you know no one’s okay
because the truth can’t help us
until you’re paying money
for people to just listen
you’re trying to break out
because you hate being me
tear off your mind and throw it away
you don’t care if you can’t find it later
watch them move and follow them
because they don’t like how you do it
they’re doing it the right way
walk in their line, wait for nothing
have their praises as appetizers
and gag at their curses like aftertaste
and you’re not them, not like them
but you’re just like them
because everyone cries when they’re alone
and no one’s ever okay unless they try hard
and force it into their souls
wanna throw myself away
so someone can come and fix me
because i broke myself trying
trying to transform into you
fitting squares into little round holes
and breaking the whole to make it hold it
you’re tired.
you’ve had enough.
push yourself out
slip back into your own skin
fit your own head back on
and you still won’t know me.

Reading this when I'm not sad is like watching a video of myself sleeping. : /
Anyway, thanks for reading <3
