#barbedwire
Look at the caged bird, surrounded by barbed wire.
It's always complaining about this and that and freedom and stuff.
Hey little bird! Aren't you grateful at all?
What would you do in the wild wide, perilous sky?
Can't you see my wingless, spineless vultures?
Don't you see how grateful and praiseful they are?
The little bird does not reply.
It pecks and pecks until the cage turns blood.
To get some blue, it's paying in red.

My head is my own worst enemy
My words are like a crown of barbed wire
You won’t get inside to see my thoughts

Embrace me tightly
Until I can't breathe
Until all the love I have for you recedes
Pinch my cheek
To draw red water
To coat your surface
Wear me like decor
Wrap around me
And pierce my lungs
Leave me speechless
From lack of tongue
Become the very air
I respire
And love me as
You're made of barded wire

Every one has barbed wire.
It pulls away but you only grip it tighter.
It cuts into your hands.
But you refuse to let it go.
No matter the pain.
No matter the cost.
