Cage
That fear.
Tell me what fear looks like.
What fears keep [ ] captive?
These thoughts are broken.
What is it? What's written on that heart,
is it breaking, binding, killing, like a knife, stabbing.
The puncture of the knife, a twisting mutilation?
I bet they look a lot like mine. Not pretty enoughNot skinny enoughNot smart enoughTalk moreThink moreBe moreDo more!
Be anything but [ ]
Tell me what [ ] think about. When [ ] can't fall asleep at night. When [ ]r ears are ringing. Thoughts singing
The voices inside telling [ ] Not.Enough.Give.Up.Stop.Trying.Try.Dying.Maybe then...[ ] won't be alone
Outrunning alone.
Maybe then, they will have fixed [ ] that thousand foot crutch that keeps you s
after they rip out every last vestige of what makes [ ] you. t
Then maybe [ ] will be enough. When the day comes a [you]
you look in the mirror and can’t recognize who was once staring [ ] back, SC(n)REAMING [ ]
Tell me that [ ] are scared. d
Tell me that it is difficult not to think sometimes! All alone. in
Tell me how about how [ ] lost. Running. g
Tell me about how he left.
Tell me about how she left.
Tell me how you (____) everything you ever had. (Lost)
Tell me how they took everything [ ] had. Parts of [ ]. Didn't [ ] need those?
Tell me about how it's never coming back. Oh but the memories, they return.
Tell me about god. The story of how he _____ *gone* Dropped [ ]. Not good enough for him. Not now. Not ever. Left.
Tell me about love
STARING at [ ] all alone don't [ ]r eyes look beautiful while they glisten
Tell me how dark the world looks through those lenses
I'd bet YOU are in a crowd of people outrunning the invisibility. outrunning .alone.
