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
