We hurt each other
Out of
Our world and lives
Spin out of control tilting tops
Barely holding momentum
Sputtering and stalled
The others presence
All that is constant
Screams pour out
With scalding heat
Try to express what is felt
Only to be met
By walls of resistance.
How long can we hold on
Pretend to ourselves all's well
Choke down vile thoughts today
Arms for the fight tomorrow
Until we finally go to far
And loved ones aren't what we are.
