Eyes Full of Skies // Mouthfuls of Lies

they think i'm weird - i know they do
it's true, i'm not like them
i'm vulnerable, exposed
a snail without its shell

that's why the place that i feel safest
is the inside of my eyelids
where no one else can hurt me
if i don't let them in

{ this is where i take capital letters and i watch them soar majestically out the window }

Amateur poetry from a strange mind.
