dark places
November 2, 2009
Run away faces,
In my crowded mind,
Taking up spaces,
And wasting my time,
This is hurting me,
It’s really scary,
Why can’t those faces see?
That they’re the ones doing this to me,
Stressed out,
They can’t let me be,
Stretched out,
Do you want a piece of me?
I’m afraid to stutter,
So my mouth doesn’t utter,
Not one word,
They’ll just use it against me,
Why am I so week?
They’ll make it bite me,
Am I really this meek?
I might go away,
From all those teasing faces,
So I’ll lie,
In dark places.
