invulnerable

Folder: 
hi skool

breathe in, breathe in.

never breathe out.

never let this go.

never let you go.

 

it festers inside,

the feeling before you fall.

before you give away your heart

and before you nearly risk it all.

 

"everything is fine."

"i've never felt more alive."

these words stumble out,

but never once, "Help me."

 

reaching out is too hard.

it's much easier to harbor

raw emotions.

tucked away with no wings

for feelings to soar.

 

the breath kept in..

it's about to bust through.

your thin lips are no match 

for ten timid years.

 

open your mouth.

let this go.

let you go.

but never once

 

"Help me."
