Always packing
Storing feelings away
And I have too many boxes
Newspaper articles unresolved kept
Scrambled and blurred
Stuffed underneath
–
I’m always packing
Don’t know what it is I’m moving for
Always prepared to disappear
Prayers stored
For later always hurt
Because one day it’ll be too late
To say the pain I’ve kept hidden
–
Bubble wrap, please be careful with my fragile concerns
Flammable, oh I’m scared my dreams will all burn
Leaving me with empty dreams, alone on the white bed too scared to scream
Watching in horror as the room fills up with canceled opportunities drowning my soul
–
I’m always packing, leaving is the goal before I’m unwanted
Always unwanted tattooed fears display on their big arms
Throw him outside in outer darkness, depart ye I’ve never knew you
–
Pride lurking in every moment
Self a formidable potent opponent
Both hands on my neck
Tongue writing ricocheting checks
Even the gift of sleep taken away
Still, I’ll pray.
