Dog growls are Honest
Rapid heartbeats adrenaline flows
feel like I am on fire from my head to my toes
my hair stands on end my breathing is heavy
tension building in me but the voice in my head is steady
Ripping out emotion with shaking hands
staccato snapping on the keys as fast as I can
like a slap to the face the words surprise me
I never knew that what is inside is so angry
a dog growling an infant crying a soldier dying a siren wailing
Like the fists of a drowning victim the feeling is failing
I bury my face then I bury the spade
I bury the tears inside until this reality fades
A dream to run away from
a cave to cover
the end of the world and the end of loving one another
Be honest inside you feel like fighting too
Like finally releasing some words that ring true
You must be sick of light steps over these eggshells on the floor
Time to get everything in the open
Time to open the door.
