locked away for sixteen days,
ready to come out and play:
now i live in shadows, as you steal
the sunshine
from the daze-
but one day, one day;
it's all gonna come together
one day, i'll be finished- and they won't even know your name
God, am I really what you made?
manifesting masterpieces, laughing at who you became
haha
go to hell! and kiss and tell and fucking yell at me
one more time
i dare you.
don't i fucking scare you
yet?
of course not. not yet.
perhaps when i am in a better place . . .
