15/SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

I let my heart out on my sleeve
Till I’m repulsed by the way it bleeds
Don’t let myself live in excitement
Putting myself in solitary confinement

I spill the darker secrets of my mind
Turns into the heaviest baggage you’ll find
Melancholy turned all sour and violent
Putting myself in solitary confinement

I feel myself getting better
Until the mirror reminds me I’m a liar
Insecurities creep up and I get all silent
Putting myself in solitary confinement

Staring out the window in vain
Who knew pride was all this pain
Hope looking like some cosmic misalignment
Putting myself in solitary confinement
