Saying sorry way too much.
Lost my balance on a tightrope.
Thinking I could take it all back,
Make all things seem alright.
All conversations going by,
I flinch at the sound of my own name.
Choking down reply,
All that left for me to feel is shame.
My hands shake all the time.
My voice is too weak.
Wouldn’t it be nice
To simply disappear?
I see a threat where there’s none.
I’m scared of demons on the streets.
I’m walking through a dead line
When I was once glistening.
So what’s happened to me now?
Why can’t I be my own self?
My blood is up all the time.
I’m ripped at every edge.
Rewinding scenes from my past.
Trying to find where I took the wrong turn.
Cage became my own mind.
Wild monster trapped inside.
Apologize way too much,
There’s no ground beneath my feet.
I was once glistening,
But now I’m just rusting steel.
I Was Once Glistening
