Remove my hands and make me mute.
Relieve me of my toxic breath
That threatens to choke me.
Throw me through thunder,
Set me on fire,
Let me flee in cowardice
From what haunts me most.The needles I throw
That puncture others' hearts
Dig their claws into my skin
When I lock myself in my room.Let me kick the ground
And scuff up my shoes.
Let them accumulate dust
So I can pile up the inconveniences.My rash leaps of boldness
Always leave bruises.
I never land on my feet
Or the comforts of solid ground.Hotsprings of hope
Often dried by doubt's thirst.
I never put faith in myself
For fear that I'll be wrong.Immobilize me, I beg of you,
And throw my brain away.
The perpetual fear and constant rain
Are too much for my consciousness to bare.
