another lie,

another given up soul,

another heartache,

another destroyed hope,

softly slamming the wall through sobs I concluded

'it's like i've spent my whole life nudging at a door, 

twisting the handle,

hands becoming callused-

trying to get it open,

 when in reality it's just a wall. 

it doesn't open.'

wet hair knotted in front of my face, breathing through heaps of steam

that's when I heard it-

a little voice inside my head, unsure of who's mind it really came from

'then bust it down.'
