one line

one line

cut straight down the middle

unfold and let loose

all the miserable faces within

masks to pick and choose from

never revealing the real me

I hide the goblin eyes well behind a wall

I’m fine – I’m okay

I’m even focused on today

words with no meaning

drop from my lips like

the blood from open cuts I

inflict to release the tension

built up inside

why me?

I should be past this now.

Touch me

hold me tight in your arms

and never let me go

If I could

I’d crawl inside you

and die

at least secure in the knowledge

that I would not be further

stripped of my dignity
