i wont let anyone close enough to break my heart; i will not feel pain

Location

so many thoughts course through my heart

it feels heavy, a burden, so i want you to take it, and keep it safe

i look at the death around me and think

the hatred of the world consumed you, I understand,

i witness the women in the world and say,

dont let them scare you, dont fall second

i think of the victims, and encourage

stand back up on your feet, it's not over yet

i imagine the people who want to feel pain, and cry

dont let them take over you, fight for your will

i stare at the homeless as i walk past, and whisper

how did you end up this way

i eavesdropp the people who inhale, cant spare a thought but to let out

go electronic

i bore my eyes at the world in front of me

i shriek out

save yourselves

save yourselves

save yourselves and keep it safe
