Social Butterfly

Suffocating

The warm walls fail to give comfort

And as they fail, they sqeeze tighter

Constricting

Whispering

We are here for you

We love you

We want to help you

But they don't help

They hurt

Hurt so bad...

I have to get out and away

Away from them all

Tearing

Screaming

Flailing

...

Falling

Falling

Hit

I look up at what was my jail

A deep jade shell

Bleeding white posion

Tainting my mind with lies

False hopes

False dreams

False

My wings are broken

Of no more use to me

I try to stand on trembling legs

Futile

More voices come

The same voices

We will always be here

We will always protect you

Always

I sink down into the ground

A new shell

Made from dirt and posion

We love you

False, false!

It's all...FALSE!

...

...

One wing protrudes from the ground

Twitching

SCREAMING
