Fireproof Safe for Emotions By Piper Mullaney
rubbermaid brain pieced together with glue thoughts//phrases//words bounce off wall to wall
ricocheted
like sugar laced-vein kids in an inflatable castle what should i say? what can i? tear glazed eyes beckoning
begging for comfort
fear of words and feelings destroying an already teetering castle the sugar wears off and i’m left a void ceasing all existence like the soulless body that lays lifeless now numbness that squeezes, flattens me i beg for candy cane-laced veins the banging against my skull, throbbing temples because bashing my head against the wall hurts less than feeling nothing at all
