when I tear myself through the window
did I catch a piece of your sanity?
pacing up and down this maze
I lock down my heart
To wait for the day
when you can clean the darkest frustration
scrubbing the bruises from my veins
like a batting cage they take their turn
I can see colors burning through the distance
breath in and out
they inhale every secret left inside my mind
a million words are exhaled
but I can’t translate a blind man’s burden
run through this glass covered maze
skin broken to bone
men watch in uniform
they shake the locks with cruelty
shut my eyes with polaroids under every scar
flash every emotion away
their hands shake at they keys
will they unlock the doors?
