for various people,,

i'm tired of putting my heart
on airplane mode
in hopes that it will block out
the insults you throw

i'm tired of keeping this
'do not disturb' facade
because i want nothing more
than for you to knock on my door

i'm tired of acting
like the portrait orientation lock,
keeping myself standing tall
when i'm really just falling apart

and i wonder if you see
past this low-volume disguise
because on the outside, i'm quiet
but i'm screaming inside
