i was tired of
dreading reality
tired of
running away from my
unresolved problems
i wanted to crawl out into the
open
expose every single fragile bone sculpted in my body and every
inch of my scarred flesh
to the world
i wasn't going to let this
overwhelming fear
consume me and
rot my core from the inside out
i was much stronger than these
non existent voices
i wasn't about to let their
venom laced torments
break me down
not again.
