Green Heart

I am a walking being of broken plates pieces

That I have glued together over the years

So that I can function another day

My thoughts turn pitch black

Not a crescent moon in sight

To provide clarity

There is an invisible noose on my neck

That makes it hard for me to breathe

Hard for me to talk

Tears dance on my eyes, ready to put on a show

At any given chance

The lump on my throat lives rent free

My dark thoughts live rent free

My tears live rent free

But all I want is to be freed
