Unarmed
Give me space
I want to disappear
I’m purposely invisible
There’s nothing to see here
Allow my disconnection
As I'm guarded and afraid
My boundaries have been set
Don't approach my barricade
Packing and triggered
Examining my impurities
I turn my weapons inward
and unload insecurities
All of my “not good enoughs”
Fire off round by round
Stinging as they strike
I’m left hollow on the ground
I wait to be discovered
Isolated by my own refrain
I’m suffering in solace
because I should have shared my pain
I concealed my weaknesses
and hid all my frustration
Disengaging from a remedy
Through self-incarceration
The only way to heal
is not to go unharmed
but to inspire others
by living life unarmed
