Brink
We once lived as the hunted.
Disguised in smiles. A fear of anger.
Those circling thoughts were spiralling right in front of me.
Silencing me.
They beat the lies into you.
Blur the lines of truth.
You found the brink. You're close to it.
Find a voice and finally..
..be the one to tell your story.
Shame will always call their name.
Hollowed out to a shell. An echo chamber of lies, taking over the mind.
Searching in what was reality. Passing comfortably around the pain.
As I surround the outskirts of a mind that warped reality to survive.
Flaws shine through a screen of widened eyes.
Though I do not fear becoming you, because you're so far gone.
It's true that a part of you lives in me.
But that piece will only serve as a warning.
