SECRETS

When you... lay in bed at night
Wearing aches for pijamas;
With secrets rioting under the blanket
That's keeping you safe…

When the trance fades
Does it still keep you afraid?
Spitting lies through your teeth every single day?
Is it a burden to keep your eyes closed?
Do you wish to drift away?
An end disguised as a promising beginning
Of "Only humans can slay monsters."

Do you always have to think
You cannot exist without withholding?
Do they make your living a duality?
Do you savor every piece - is it lonely?
To be eaten by flashbacks.

Who could put you back together?
Pain keeps you on a thin thread.
Jump off and never be?

Scatter in the madness
Swing between polarity
Nothing is free.
Everything is possible.

When you abandon cages.
