I found out today That I carry around chainmail Similar to the Knights during The Middle Ages But its more unreal It protects me And tells me not to spill my emotions Similar to protecting the knight It holds everything throughout the day And at night Everything within me crumbles. I take off this "chainmail" And i go into those dark alleys of my mind Some with no escape I try escaping with my plentiful books They sometimes work Other times its hell upon myself My friends, and i regret it every time But its a cycle I fail to stop Unlike my real bike which failed me yesterday This chainmail, its good and all But I wish I didnt have to remove it I dont want to make my friends suffer But they still do. I learnt to bottle it up… Like thats going to help. Just, need kevlar or something
