another apology

bubbling acid wells up inside
tattered and torn from my own hands
a tear in my skin
can't stand feeling locked in
embarrassment stops me
self image contains me
a caged pet to you all
the ones who stroll past
looking in a laughing
snearing snub smiles
noses high in air
i end up ripping myself apart

i leave myself open for you
i jump out of myself to you
the soft interior to cousion your fall
laughing stock of the world once i realize i didn't help you
once i see i was too flimsy to save you
willpower less
not enough to keep you out of harm's reach
a soft heart below it all
crushed from being so weak
so spineless.
