Worn

Blind-Sight

Do not come to me

With promises painted pretty

Do not come to me

Reflecting the stars old light

They steal the warmth

To feed apathetic atrophy

Do not come to me

Looking to bask in the halation

of my shadow

without acknowledging your own

Do not come to me

With false things

Hiding your true face

Do not come to me

With small talk

Tumbling from your teeth

I want to know

How you hold yourself

And the names of the monsters

When you can't fall asleep

Do not come to me

Adorned with self deceit

I have to say

I dislike the taste

I prefer transparency

Come to me

With whispered things

Come to me

With stories of your survival

I care not

For the mask upon the day

I find the act

Outdated and worn

False light

Projected fears

And hidden hate

Come to me

When you are torn

Raw and real

Come to me

When you feel

Come to me

When you're caught in night

When you feel hollowed

Hopeless

Beaten down

From the battles of your mind

Come to me

In darkness

With madness

I do not fear these storms

For I am made of

Quicksilver

Coursing

Lightning

Come to me

Undressed

Bloodied and Wild

Come to me

As you are

Worn and battle-scarred

Perfection is a lie

Sold to sleeping souls

Going through monotonous motions

Living without Being alive

Come to me

When Truth feels heavy in your bones

In this devil's playground

Remember to hold on to your soul.

About the Creator

Heather Climer

A chaotic combination of music, molecules, color and curiosity. Fueled by no small amount of caffeine, I find inspiration in the world around me, and do my best to represent my reality.
