Stockholm


I cry the tears you use to buff your mask of pretend innocence

 

I’m in a room looking at everyone through the one way mirror
You’re the only one who knows I’m here as you parade around in your polished disguise
Every attempt I make trying to get them to see my side is worthless
 
 
I consider escape but the labyrinth of instability outside the door is far worse than the pain of futility
 
 
Foxgloves and fungi will fill my lungs as I choke out my self defense but your response is always the same.
 
 
Lose the fucking attitude.
