Tinted glass walls

Tinted glass walls

I knew there was more

I knew it deep down inside

But I was locked away

And every night I cried

I cut my hair

Dressed like a man

Said I couldn't write anymore

But boy I could write

Though it all stayed inside

Out of sight

Behind those tinted glass walls

I'd count my scars

Mark each day with a new one

Never really knowing why

I did what I did

Behind those walls

Those tinted glass walls

One day I punched a hole

And pried my way out

Tears in my eyes

For the world was so bright

Beyond those tinted glass walls

I stayed in the light

As the sun washed away my scars

There was somewhere for me to go

I was going far.

Hey Corky!!...........this is tough..........sounds like you have experience with "cutters"...........tough problem to handle mentally...........I had a friend who used to "Mark Days" that way.........her marked days were about ongoing torture...........hope this was fictional and not personally experienced.........but........regardless..........there is a lovely "otherworldliness" in those closing lines..........like death was a welcome release..........or perhaps a comforting healing was discovered........either way, this is VERY important subject matter...........and you delivered a kick ass write my friend............hope I didn't totally misinterpret this piece................great picture accompanying.............Hugz!!...........T xoxo

After a long night can be the Sun, but it can also come an even more long and dark night, that should not be panicking or his composure, the attitude of the psyche is essential for successfully tackling this leap that supposed death over time.

A great writing, greetings and welcome to Cosmo.
