Like an airplane reaching its climb they break through
My once composed and seamless blanket is now a
valley of holes punctured and breaking,
They seep into my pores and leave me shaking.
These words manifested as bullets and knives
To do endless damage, leave me barely alive.
But the friendliest of fire is what hurts me the most,
My most powerful enemy and advisory is the one
free to coast.
That who truly knows what is inly flung,
In myself, only I can be undone.
My exterior is a thin barrier,
My only defense against the world.

They seep into my pores and leave me shaking.

To do endless damage, leave me barely alive.
But the friendliest of fire is what hurts me the most,
My most powerful enemy and advisory is the one

That who truly knows what is inly flung,
In myself, only I can be undone.
My exterior is a thin barrier,
My only defense against the world.
