bite my tongue
I’d rather walk away
than staying to hear the awkward goodbyes
when there’s too much to say
the invisible threads tied around my lips
my knees gone weak at the thought
of pouring my heart out
collecting rocks in my chest
dark clouds accumulating in my crazy head
but it never rained over there
just humidity and lightning strokes
where are the rainbows and the Sun?
slap my wrist and laugh hysterically
i used to hurt myself for fun
crying and smiling and diving
into the sea of my past mistakes
when they said, fearful avoidant
I see a little birdie on the verge of dying
too afraid to fly away
too scared to stay.
