I coated my heart with titanium liquid glaze.
How can the humidity get in.
How can I rust again.
I stumbled upon my old childhood pictures.
Dressed in a smile so foreign to me.
I forgot all the lectures.
I gave myself and memorized to my brain.
I found myself knitting that face I dread the most on the muscles of my cheeks and God it hurts.
I forgot about how your head can fire up, it was a promise.
To never let that happen again and I failed.
I coated my heart with titanium liquid glaze.
So how can my heart rust again?
I tried and tried but the wounds still crack open.
And I have nothing left to help me put a coat on it.
I thrive in low lights like an ordinary plant.
So how can I face my yellow stems in the sand.
I neglected my roots and forgot how to water.
I neglected my fruits till the flies filled the abdomen.
I can't run away again.
Wouldn't run away again.
And how can I pretend.
That I'll be okay.
My wounds cracked open.
I was God-chosen.
So how can I be mad when I should be glad?
I tried to understand the mind of the good god.
But I fail to follow the traces in the Quran.
I tried to knit that smile on the muscles of my cheeks.
And it horribly ended with grief.
I tried I tried to believe in a good God.
And that he loves me, but I pretend.
To follow through all the commands.
To pretend that I got my life back.
I coated my heart with titanium liquid glaze.
So how can my chest burst and let it all go away.
The wounds still crack open, and I can't pretend.
That everything that hurts will be.
Okay again.
