Bones

I got these bones in my closet,

too bad I forgot to lock it.

You will soon find,

all the darkness that's hidden inside.

I have too much to hide,

it'll seep through the cracks,

leaving tracks,

of everything that I've left behind.

Breaking down the walls I cower by,

you will see this little girl trapped inside,

Scared of the world inside her mind,

she feels trapped and confined,

but for once someone was let inside.

It's lonely being held by the cage of the walls,

day after day staring at the dark stall,

trying to figure out how to let anyone in to see it all.

the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,
artificial noise.

blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,
who are you protecting though?

I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,
children,
