<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All i am <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is a confining statement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or is the confinement in my head<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concept of confinement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is in itself non-existent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
until i give it my energy, my attention<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My very being confines itself<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To fit its<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mold<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How ironic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every barrier i have ever known<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was first built from the inside<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freedom may not be an open field<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the moment <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When no one tells you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where to stand<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You think you can fly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uninformed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
child<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have mistaken familiarity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For safety so many times<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even an unlocked door<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feels like something <\/p>\n\n\n\n
you should apologize for opening<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is your decision<\/p>\n\n\n\n
always<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wish<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All i want<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is to know<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You run across the halls<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Down and up stairs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like i would remember your viridian calls<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You expect so much<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish i could satisfy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your nightmares with every touch<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you say you want to cry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So i let them begin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As if they could ever end<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shed some light<\/p>\n\n\n\n
please<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I collect its skin <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take me to the dirt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish to revel in its brindled finery<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you believe that<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blue veins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
creep along your green and dusty pink patches<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You form your terracotta into shapes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stars haven\u2019t had the privilege of witnessing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
before<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I must cross them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If i am to make anything<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of myself<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snippets from everyone\u2019s <\/p>\n\n\n\n
collective thoughts<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Decorate my mouth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I swallow them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can only hope they assimilate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stuff my ears with the rich rich soil<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think i am safe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your song<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strings a necklace of peridot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When i was seven<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and happy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
alive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
heedless<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yet so conscious<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can have that back<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So incredulous<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for what<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It might just choke me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
again<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How could i explain to you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pain of coming across as a fog<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specifically a fog between the trunks of a forest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not the murky dismal kind <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That would be easier<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You would feel the weight when you saw it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fog<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mingles with the dappled sunlight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tricks you with its lambent beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until you are in its mist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you are consumed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disoriented<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So drowsy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So unsure of yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fog is unsure too<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
fall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
into<\/p>\n\n\n\n
slumber<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dream away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my novel radiance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my apologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I inflicted it upon myself<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had to get it out<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had to coerce it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a hard time trusting me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And i am still scared<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of showing you<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i must find contentment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
within my fear<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
