Im really scared
sitting on my bedroom floor
scared to owning it up
i got so many things broken
but
but
but
like a sunflower
id like to be out in the field
soaking up the natural air
not cooped up inside my own prison
just for today
i want to peek outside the world
scary
scary
scary
but please my dear
please hold my hand
even though it’s like an empty cave inside
full of thorns on the wall
a child stuck on a tiny islet
surrounded by crashing waves
the rocks underneath his feet are trembling
huddled his knees together
looking up
the blue sky above
so far above
what’s the way to go out
down into the waves
up the thorns
who know if up beyond the cave
would there be nothing but surrounding molten lava
filled with more caves
peeking down insides would be more children like me
she hollered
don’t stuck in your own shit
stand up
clean yourself
