Untitled
Life is like a carousel
Constantly turning in a circular motion
Holding on so tight -
Blisters start to form,
Filling the crevices of my hands
Though,
I’m used to them by now -
Because I've always lived this way
Clinging onto things that hurt me -
Even when they leave me bleeding,
Shaking
So, burn me at the stake
If that’s what it takes
To stop this carousel
