Crutches
That's what I used to get by
Memories dark underneath the moonlight
Lay crawling up my skin like a thousand of
warning signs in schemes of butterflies and spiders.
It hung against me hard on my back
Like a reminder that never went away
It crippled me.
I was a child that had a new normal I coped to
That nobody ever had.
Ever felt.
It was only me I had to focus on
Learning how to heal felt cliché
Like the spiders will forever wrap around my body
The spider webs engrained in my skin
On the surface that is still raw to the touch.
But healing felt like the spiders release their hold
It was like the dawn breaking
Where every single time I heard you did a bad thing
The rage that made the spiders crawl
Disappeared inside.
The beauty beyond cobwebs
Felt clear and vivid like the prey getting away from the predator once and for all.
Taking things personal was my weakness
But knowing it wasn't my fault is my strength.
