Lifeline
It’s like I wear 10 masks at once,
And they’re always changing,
rearranging,
Without my consent
It’s all in my head
Sometimes my brain shakes,
Too many motions, too much-
Shut down,
And I just shake.
Nerves quiver,
Brain shivers
As I try to breathe
Words flow my mind
Yet I can’t speak-
Sometimes my angels spit things out
Sometimes I want my own voice
To be heard
Fly away like a bird
From this body,
This brain God gave me
But my whole life one person
They made my life clear
That despite all this noise,
All this hate in the world,
If you live your life happy,
You find peace in yourself-
And that’s what my mom taught me
Believe in myself
Even when I have moments completely alone
Anyone can listen but I’m never truly heard
Like echos in the forests
That reverberate
My only love, my heart-
Take my heart, resuscitate
How can it be
the one who believed
Is set free?
