Do you hear the walls of the house crack under the weight of the things we’re not saying? We should unburden this home from the weight of these feelings we are withholding.
The door is unlocked,
all you have to do is turn the knob and push forward
to a moment of genuine honesty
that might last a lifetime.
I have been locking myself
away from the world and I am tired
of hiding inside these four red walls.
So feel free to break them down with a hammer
until they are nothing but pieces of concrete.
We’ll pick up these pieces of nothing
and build a fort out of it.
We’ll paint it with the color of the sky during sunset
and at the end of each day
we’ll hide
away from the world and spend the night
tracing the stars on our backs.
So spare me another sleepless night of doubt
and carry this heaviness with me,
it will be effortless.
