A Figure Of Fun

tema

The coldest of air is kissing me in ways I can't unsee
The tension in this room makes everything feel uneasy 
I'm holding back my tears, I fear that they will only freeze
My ribcage is pressing against my skin as I breathe heavily 

My heart is shaking out of place, it may fall to my feet
The cage I thought I locked it in, useless it must be 
There's no sound anywhere but both my ears still bleed
The ghosts must be taunting me and both my bloody knees 

All the words in all these notebooks, they make me so afraid 
They're jumping out, latching onto my eyes and my name
They remind me of the friends I used to say I hate 
But now they're taking their revenge and eating me away 

At the brink of it all, there's nothing I've got left to say
All my shadows painted on the walls
A figure of fun has always been my name

    can't pretend to grasp its context, but still
    I can appreciate how well written and lovingly edited this is,
    thank you for sharing
