Lzzy Hale Instagram – BRAIN ON FIRE
Lzzy Hale 1/31/24
My brain is on fire
There’s a fine line between bleeding poems
And speaking in tongues
But the flood gates have broken
An escape hatch has opened
And I’m flowing with the tow of my ocean
Collecting Seashells
Through the sand in my fingers
Instead of walking on eggshells
That tile the kitchen
That glimmer that lingers
Only for one minute
Hoping to catch it and
Capture the magic
An addiction that was pointed
in the wrong direction
A weapon, a force that knows no god
That has no name
Duel faced with
No conscience, no allegiance
Only one choice to make
How will I use it?
To Destroy? To Create?
To believe
That all my ideas and dreams they are valid
It feels like nothing can hold me back
Like I’m trapped dragging this pen
Because my thoughts burn faster
A Force of nature
A natural disaster
Constant state of panic, urgency
Every spark and stolen breathe an emergency
And there’s no end to this well of clarity
And emotion
My passion’s been frozen
For a thousand years now
With everyone trying to get me to close my mouth
Just shut down and lock up my voice
Like I don’t have a choice
Like I’m screaming underwater but no one hears the noise That I make
But it quakes and it shakes
Til the pressure is too great
And I could just burst into flames
Open my veins
and rain down my pain, and all the blame unashamed
My blood is a tital wave
It floods the whole world with Love
Cuz I have a lot to give
And I’m too tired to live just to exist
I’d rather jump off a cliff
Than not take the risk
So I will cover this trail in my gore and my spit
Never give in. Never quit and thrive
Like I were the last one alive
Til I have nothing left to my story
Than this husk of a body
Rest in pieces knowing
That I didn’t blink for one moment
That I didn’t leave one stone unturned
Not one lesson unlearned
And have carved out my name in the side of this earth.
