care

 
bleeding in feeling
I release the venom that is killing
a sigh escapes my lips

so exhausted from hurt
it drains me, my sacred heart burning
emotions overpower me

holding me hostage are ultimatums
behave this way or else
fear keeps me in line

it's breathing down my neck
my scars are apparent
my vulnerabilty too real

I'm soft to the touch
my desire to fit in grows but I don't
too different from the pattern
that society has handed down
a uniform too tight
restricts me from saying how I feel

the horde gathers ready to defeat
should you mess up and say what's really on your mind
real quick, wounding words are used
you're crazy, you need help
screaming inside myself

I refocus but it's hard to do
when you're constantly misunderstood
abandonement I know I'm intense
my soul reaches out and connects with yours
then when you pull back
another piece of me is ripped away

bits of me forever lost
trust is a big issue
if I place it in you
don't break my heart

sanctity in a smile
I'm just like you looking for a place to shelter
to weather the storms, as one
