Locked in Thought

#VocalNPM

In a room of broken glass

Where I cannot see the floor

How can I go through so much pain

To escape through my only door?

Take a step on some shards

It hurts like hell, I'll go no more

I should just run across

I think to myself

Maybe then it won't be so hard

I take a breath and hold back my tears

I want to run but am reign by my fears

Like a bandage I just need to do it

I look to the sky and whisper

Help me through this

I hold my breath and close my eyes

In my mind I start to fly

I hit the door but I'm still best

The door is locked and there's blood beneath my feet

I fall to my knee's and just scream why

Only I hear a whisper to tell me

It's not yet time

I grab my chest and lay on the floor

I don't think my mind can take anymore

I'll just sit, cry, and wait

To be alone and broken is clearly my fate

I'll lay here just a little while

And I'll perfect my fake smile

I'm ok! I yell once more

There's no response

As I cry in my head

Please just open the fucking door.
