The Tales Of A Teenager

The Cracked Box

Your heart is cracking with each step.

You feel as though you cannot breathe.

You scream like they would hear.

But you're locked inside your mind.

You cry and choke on your tears.

You are a locked away storm.

Watching everyone around you.

Just crumble to your feet.

You got locked in a box.

For people couldn't see you.

You swallowed the key.

So maybe you could feel.

Your heart is crying with each cut.

For you're too beautiful for scars.

You leave people with a memory.

Of what you could have been.

You run hoping you would escape.

But they end up keeping you.

For you cannot run from demons.

Soon your falling in the flames.

You got burned by fake love.

For it gave you a chance.

Only for it to leave you.

Wishing you could be gone.

You lock your heart in a box.

Hoping it would someday open.

But you know it never would.

So your demons take it away.
