“Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forward”.


As my rigid edges scrape and scratch I file and file but they keep coming back

Until they’ve been shaped and shielded to where only i can feel them once I’ve controlled them learned how to hold them

No longer can they see the pain that they have molded

One by one I take off the shields only to let them carve and cut every wound and slash

But it reminds me that I can’t deny So in order to decline i must Define cause this is me.

The pain I feel within that I hide everyday And get better at hiding and controlling
