Guardo todo en los confines de mi propia

Mind

Because that is where I feel safest

Even though it’s all just my demons in these torturous

Cages

I think it’s best that I keep my thoughts to myself

Place them on the dusty top shelf

But I don’t even follow my own rules

They don't teach this kind of love in preschool

Be nice

Think right

Go to sleep at

Night 

I dream of a fantasy land where I rule

And it’s only me

It belongs to the people I torture by just standing too close

And I wait until it snows in my cage

It covers everything from my nose to my toes

I hide from the demons

They taunt me because I will always love you 

So in that moment I chose

I love you more than myself

And I'd do anything to get you out of your cages

You're the one I hold close like my blankets when I sob 

And I keep on till my eyes throb

I see the colors

And I think of what You, Henna, and Elizabeth Grant did for me

It’s so compromising

To the people I

Nurture in my caged heart

I’m so indecisive

But I refused to be caged in

I want to be all the places you've been

That’s why society looks at people like me and shuts us out

But you know what I'm all about

You said to let it out of these cages

I just want a new place to begin

In

Please not on Earth

Maybe a place where I can talk to people who've felt how it feels to be caged in away from love like this 

And they won’t look at my unsound mind and me

Don't judge it

I've had enough of it

I keep my mind games in this tiny necklace

I can see a place of purple skies when I go at night

And the animals in cages with closed eyes like someone just sang a lullaby

The closed flower 

Because they're sleeping

A little girl in white weeping

Lock it up

“You’ve been going on about my mind

But what about your heart?”

You mean that crippled

Black stone caged in my chest?

Oh no 

It’s broken and fallen

I look to my love and fall in love again

He is leaning on a cane

And leaning against the window pain with the rays of the moon making him glow like a beautiful burning beacon of light

Time has passed in a frenzy 

And I'm ready to go from this cage

I believe in the country we will never be

But it's dead just like my love and me

But I’ll keep looking for the changes

Because we were all kept in
