Insanity
walking through the flames
with a smile on my face
taking a deep breath in
when i'm already drowning
asking how i am
as fire flows from my skin
telling happy lies
while truth seeps through my eyes
learning silence
from repeated violence
visiting the battlefield
without bringing a shield
playing your game
and bearing the shame
trusting when i hear
there is nothing to fear
finding the nerve to share
and expecting you to care
taking all the blame
feeling my personality drain
watching the world turn grey
pretending to be okay
extinguishing flames
with gasoline
consuming poisons
to destroy toxins
staying awake
though my eyelids ache
climbing the wall
but fearing the fall
failing to see
the safety offered to me
running away
though i know i should stay
obtaining all i've longed for
and still desperate for more
focusing on my scars
wondering why i can't see stars
covering my eyes
looking for clear skies
shivering in fright
as the sun shines bright
believing when you say
the wounds will heal one day
giving up the fight
when i can almost see the light
avoiding the cold
by returning to the hole
continuing to hold on
when all hope is gone
laughing through the pain
and doing it all again
Insanity
