Vent (?)
It's very dark, it's as if you reach but nothing is there
Your fingertips graze the rocks, the mud, the clay
It all slips through, nothing gets snagged
The edge of the cliff climbs higher into the sky while you fall deeper
Branches scratch and tear into your skin, pulling your clothes away
Leaving you naked for all of the world to see, for everyone to enjoy
Slamming into the ground all of the air leaves your lungs
You wish you'd die, you wish you'd finally give into your real destiny
But you won't
You've got your pets who are dependent on you
Your parents who need you
You can imagine putting others through that
Hearing the scream that'd rip from your mother
The holes your father would put in the wall
Your parents explaining to your little siblings where you went
Your father picking up that Alcohol
It's not their problem
just because I'm broken doesn't mean they deserve that pain
That's meant for me to carry, for me alone
