When the world around you is on fire

You're burning up on the inside and the out.

People are too loud, so you tune it out and it doesn't work.

Your limbs are electrically wired and your brain is tampered with. You're just an experiment.

They are yelling

They are too much

They are too loud

And then they're quiet

And then they're loud

And you're overstimulated

And bleeding

And in abyss.

I can't sit and wait

I can't stay.

Why do you care but why don't you

Why do you care so much but you don't. It's killing me. You're killing me.

She's an electric light

Dangerous to touch and so bright

I wish I had her light, her spark

I'm a dim light

I only light up the small portions of your bedroom and she lights up the whole room.

Compare me to glass, but I'm broken. A shard is deep and drawn blood. I am a cutting object and yet the object being cut, I am the blood. I am the shard.

I will never be

Not what I am and can be

Not what I should be

Not her

Not me

Not anyone

I will never be.

Why do I stay awake to fall over

Why do I fall over to get up

Why do I get up to do it all again?
