when someone looks at me, is my introduction what they think theyd get? theres gotta be more to me then this cell- not just the clumps of cells i project, but the prison within. atleast windows are reliable, no wonder about a double standard, when both sides are see through and sane. so many others have been locked in this same cell it doesnt make me feel better as im still here alone. expect for the voices in my head a imposter in my cell- hovering in the corner, the crack in the wall. as i cry this imposter laughs at my vulnerability my biggest hater. my stomach twist says every flaw is right to be torn apart a tornado building- no flaw untouched. the house that supports my head aches already i wish the tornado would take that too. when the words dont come out of my mouth, is what they see what they get? i dissociated from myself a long time ago my conscience is floating. hanging from the rope i tied years ago the real me wanted to summit to the knife. under my unicorn pillow, not sharp but cut to ease. red cut the blue and lines deepen with my smile my wrist still stings even though im clean. im see through like long sleeves and slit wrists, but more so like stained glass- colorful and full of illusion. clear windows are bland but atleast theyre reliable.
