I feel like a cup that cannot stop pouring

empty, yet still giving

Out of water

so I pour myself instead

my hopes

my dreams

gone in a flood

With nothing left to give

I trade my glass

for broken pieces that aren’t mine

I seal myself with borrowed burdens

the ones that break my will

stitching together a person

My thoughts being blades

My mind the juggler

Each blade tossed to hig...

I feel like a child

Playing to close to a fire

Or going to pick a rose

Not knowing the pain

Experiences branded

in my mind

Unforgettable things

Not all bad

Playing tag around the fire

Rollerblading down a hill

The pain of getting to close

The pain of falling down

The pain of trying to hold onto s...
