Blindman's hanging

Seeing words upon this paper
Fade away when you call my name,
Scream it out in a whimper
Songs made to drive you insane.

Tear apart my gentle feelings
Square tiled eyes black you out,
Hold me down and walk on me
Spit in my face to "help" me out.

Run away from black forest's play
Your specch falls in deaf ears.
I'm going to shut out your ways
To make sure that i never hear.

Wax butterflies melt inside,
Inside our hearts and minds.
Drip their tears to hide
The many times we've become blind.

Calling out beneath the healing
Screaming out your bloody lungs,
Pulling at your skin that's peeling
I'll stare at you when i'm hung.

I got chills from reading this.
"Calling out beneath the healing."
I could relate to this line SO much.
I am going through therapy right now. And its like I know I need it, and its helping me, but I'm afraid that losing my sadness, which has become my comfort will change me.

The last stanza was:
very, very moving.
Can it get any better.
I'll read and see.

Have an excellent day.
