I'll be okay.

GET OUT
 

GET OUT 
 

GET OUT

I can't breathe
my chest is 

I'm trying to|c o n s t r i c t i n g|forget the pain.

I can't say a word
or this world will crumble down
this world which was finally becoming
bright again.

I was supposed to be 

why are|s a f e|you here?

My heart is beating
 GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT

but I am condemned to silence
because to say a word is to show

Why won't you|w e a k n e s s|just get out?

...

I won't let you do this to me
this is my time now.

I'll be|g e t o u t|okay.

    sapping away the life of flowers

    I am the girl who sings
    who writes poetry
    who stands on a stage

    The Poets Are Mad

    All the poets are crazy,
    dreamers with so much and so little to say,
    armed only with words to make everything
    in the world right again.

    They say, it is up to the artists
    it is up to the youth
