Bring in the hurt to numb the pain
Lock me up to keep me sane
Or just kill me off right now.

Hide in corners of circular rooms
To keep the monsters from finding you
Locked inside and shelved too high
Reasoned too far to leave.

Tears burn in veins to take up space
Can't fill out that empty place
Colors fade to black and grey
'cause, y'know, no one else could live this way.

And when they could help is when they're not around
And when screams could break the silence no one's there to make a sound
And when touch would feel warm and a welcome invite
No one cares enough to make everything alright.

Cut out the heart to save the brain
Bring in the hurt to numb the pain
Lock me up to keep me sane
...or just kill me off right now. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Rissa [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
