But not Dead

Exhausted from running on these eggshells,

Constantly dealing with your inner demons,

Living like a prisoner in the cell you created,

I deserve better than weaponized tears,

Psychological warfare is a game I won't play,

Say goodbye, my love, this bird is breaking free,

Exit wounds hurt, but eventually they heal.
