• In out out in
    Draining slowing
    Wearing down
    Drooping shoulders
    Half-mast eyes
    Too much energy to stay awake
    Slipping away
    Little by little
    Into nothing
    Lifeless shell
    Awaken sporadically
    In fits of rage
    That terrify
    Back into hibernation
    Safest place to be
    For what’s left of yourself
    To keep you whole
    So you can wake
    With somewhere to go
    Don’t harm
    Only you
    Fear loss of control
    Means loss of self
    Secrete it all away
    Nothing shows
    Walk among others
    Never let go
    Of the chains inside
    That allow you
    To tell the nameless being
    That rages inside
    No
