Dear Blankets


Dear Blankets...

Everyday passes

I live my life behind glazed eyes 

Like glasses

My anxieties could eat me alive

I try to live up to perfect

How do you be perfect when you know you don't deserve it?

I hide in you 

I feed the monster deep inside 

With everything they tell me

They tell me lies!

Why can't I leave you without a terrible good byes.

But 

I know I need leave 

And it's time

I can't take comfort in you anymore

My farwells
