"carefree dreams"

I cut pieces of her flesh in half

until she fully disappeared

and someone seemingly

more

appeared in her place,

I molded myself

into the one that they wanted me to be,

I forgot the midnight black wall

and the screaming as the cold air hit my back

and invited in the carefree dreams

and restored soul

but at some point

it became a disguise

and tears that run down my face

alone

do not disappear because no one saw them.
