Crack
Split
A darkness is slowly dripping out...

Or maybe it's a light
A light so blinding
It causes a black binding.

Oh shoot!
It's leaking
Oh God, it's leaking too much!
No!

Calm down.
Just stitch it back together.
It looks ugly, but it still functions.

...Right?

Oh no, it broke again!
I didn't even do anything remotely destructive
And it's an even worse leak than before!
No!

It's okay!
It's fine.
Just don't let it be noticeable...

...Easy?

Words
In such a beautiful form and tone
Seduce me into revealing those stitches...

Or maybe they're war scars
That are stitched up so much
So it just looks fine outside.

Oh shoot!
It's bleeding so fast
Oh God, someone noticed it!
No!

Just shut up!
Please sew back together...
Please don't make me show this side...

...Please?

Crash
Boom
An angel calls from the light...

Or maybe it's just a voice
A voice so welcoming
It sounds like heaven to my ears.

Oh shoot!
It's asking about my scars
Oh God, please don't call for help!
NO!

No one will understand!
No one had ever noticed until you did!
No one is going to answer your calls!

...Will they?

"You know that it's okay to be who you are, right?

 You're only human.

 It's okay to feel down and upset around those who love you.

 You are fine just the way you are. 

There's no shame in it."

I...

                                                                             What...

                                                   You mean...

                                    I'm...

...Not an animal?

...

You broke my everyday pattern.

Something that was short, shuddering, and shattered

Was slightly smoothed out by your advice.

From stuttered, staggered, and strenuous   

My movements swayed into a graceful Waltz.

It became flexible, facile, feasible

All with just a few sentences.

And for that I thank you

Though the road is still a little rough.

But you've opened the pathway to light

And showed me just how beautiful it was.

I will follow that light

Where ever it may lead me.

So thank you

For allowing me a safe passage.

They are from my stitches

Living deep within my wounds.

But I know that it's a better place there

So I'll strive for that inner light inside me.

Even if my loved ones will never understand

I know that I'll have a hint of light outside my heart.

Thank you

For reminding me it's okay to be myself.
