i'm full of fear
and there's no space for dreams.
in the corpse i call my body
or in the cell that is my brain.
too many whispers are in my ear
said by beasts
in the raspiness of their voice
telling me to hang on tight
instead of to let go.
the cracks in my heart
somehow spoke too.
but they roared.
louder than the beasts ever could.
they set fire to my insides.
but the claws groped my skin
like my hands on the railing
before i ignored the beasts
and jumped.
