i am numb here
behind empty eyez
bloody cotton balls line my home
needles seek relief
addiction that I feed
beggin for more money

running inside my blood
fix me

the oldest of however many children,
to not be molded into the perfect daughter
in this cage. I don't live by the water anymore.
I don't dream of a rescue. I've become hardened clay
and nobody
The days are shattering at my feet. They fly by and they don't. It's like living the same day a million times. Drowning in a pool of lost days and dreams and people, all the same. The diamonds, the blood, the rivers and the faery wands. My voice, like my tears, has been bottled inside, holding me up in the night sky.
