Warrior/Worrier

Put on your best warrior costume.

It’s time to lie.

Alone in the

dark.

Shun out the

light.

Standing strong to fake a smile,

while the brain screams at you to stop.

hide away.

you know you want to.

Planet Earth eyes as cold as the ocean.

They sparkle to fool the world,

but it’s a dim bulb at best.

The monster in your head providing comfort

as you walk amongst humanity.

Ghosts.

Shells.

Hollow vessels to impress.

Put on your best warrior costume.

It’s time to lie.

You can’t let them see.

They can’t know what’s behind this wall.

Longing for the dark that you once thought was so bad.

Thriving in the

dark.

For it’s too hard to be real in the

light.

Just a few hours left of playing this part.

the sane.

the emotionally stable.

the coherent.

Yes, just a few hours left.

Put on your best worrier costume.

It’s time to cry.
