"if you're sad, write", they said

my eyes were blurry

my mouth could not open

my hands were shaking

i was on my knees, begging

my mind was foggy


i'm stuck with the random flashes 

looping in the theater of my brain


i could not think of what i had to do

this was not in any how-to book

my consciousness was not in sync

the movement of my body was off-beat


i did say randomly during movies

i wanted to know what it's like

if guys exchange fists because of me

careful what you wish for, i guess


i can't wrap my head around what was the outcome you expected?

when you pulled out sharpness and aim throat

i wouldn't understand, i only know so much about your former skin


you wear firecracker suits

thick ones, making others too afraid to touch

but inside, i see a soft heart with hard shell

it's always there, behind your shadow


my walls are eloquent and pretty

covering all the darkness i carry

sugarcoated so i'm not bitter

just sprinkle pain with glitter


with tired eyes and trains of thought

silenced cry and dry mouth

no rhymes, no beautiful lines

i can only let out some raw minds.
