Chrysalis

Fixating on my wounds again

Pulling at my limbs just to see how far I bend

Persuing every detail in my skin

I am self dissection and I cherish every pin



This genocide behind my eyes

Disposes of any piece that threatens to defy

it never rests shedding every useless thing

as I stretch towards complete autonomy



I have forgotten

How it feels

To be clean and

To be just me

I am not lost I

am just in hiding

to be held by time

and take back my life



I'll push this far enough to see

How to take control over every part of me

I contain everything I need

To know that I'm alive all I have to do is breathe



Alone, safe with the company I keep

except the needling of thoughts, pushed in way too deep

I fear the ache that finds me in my sleep

I know I can't run faster than the blood black night can creep



Filling me up

making me whole

holding me close

letting me grow. freeing my soul
