there is a globe attached to me
but it's life-sized
i can't see the other side
and i'm thinking there are more attached
because we are worlds apart
you and i
sometimes
it feels to me
that i fail to see
the good
the beautiful
the love
the perfection
i feel the weight on me
and it crushes me flat
i can hear every bone snap
then i wish that my skin
would let go, let it out
but it contains the pressure
holds it all in
i hold it all in
i can't blame it on a part of my body
is frail
i am not strong
who ever said i was?
the world has to know this
so that it can leave me alone
like i always am
and stop crushing my bones
my dreams
but it's life-sized
i can't see the other side
