I'm not made for this
Be nice
Be nice
Nice and rational
Feel your emotions when you need to feel them but don't go overboard
You might hurt them
You don't want that
You don't want that and you should have learned the balance by now
You're angry
Reel it in
Reel it in
Reel it in
Don't feel
No you're suppressing
But if you don't you might blow
Don't want to hurt someone in the explosion
Implode
It's better to implode
Crash in on yourself
Destroyed before you can cause anyone pain
Feel
Everything
And nothing at all
The night twists just like your wrists when you can't control yourself
A body working against itself just like his mind does
Limbs popping out of place and out of shape, flailing like if you were under water trying not to drown
But you want to, so how do you stay afloat?
Air in your lungs
Unsure how it got there, but maybe it was another part of him that wants to live
So you make it to shore
Sand deceptively soft, hiding ice and rocks you can't seem to bury deep enough
