eyes bleary
mind's weary
body's so weak
feel the four walls closing in
as we speak
days and days of pretending i'm fine
i'm not okay
learning to live with the voices in my head
oozing and spilling
i'm covered in lead
finding the balance
b'tween growth and malice
i've trapped
myself
in me
i just want peace
within
at least
be quiet
when I sleep
