writings on the wall.
i wrote my thoughts on the walls but they still kept me in my mind.
let me rephrase that—
i wrote my thoughts on the walls but i was still stuck in my own mind.
i had to cover them because it was too much for me to deal with.
under the paper i know they’re still there.
under the trauma and pain and blood and hustle and dysfunction—i think i am too.
or i thought so at least.
