inside me is a house of mirrors
i look at everything from every angle
until i am lost in it
i take these pills to stop
the negative reflections of my haunted body
and sometimes i think that
it would take the whole bottle
to do the trick
i don't wear my mess with pride
i have been shattered so many times
that i'll end up with years of bad luck
and the glass shatters my stomach
until i can't feel anything else
i'm cutting my tongue
on the shards i threw up
and i'll keep on tasting this blood
until i stop trying to find a way out
