Space

The walls inside my skull seem to be getting tighter.

The thoughts inside my head seem to be expanding.

The battle between the two rages on,

And I don't know which will win.

Will my thoughts stay contained,

Or will my skull explode?

I think I know which will win,

The same one that has won every other battle.

The same one that has proved to overcome.

The one that I always make win.

I know how to keep my thoughts inside,

I know how to contain my emotions.

Little tupperwares inside my skull,

Keep everything right where they need to be.

Keep everything neat, separate.

I will find my space.

I will give space where needed.

Distance...distance...distance.

I know how that works.

So my skull will stay intact.

My thoughts will stay inside.

My emotions will stay hidden.

For now.
