they know more than they want to share
I prepare so carefully my defenses
make up walls, barriers, turn to stone for them
so they don't have to know
but they aren't playing offense these days
they gave up, they aren't intimidated by stony things anyways
they're tougher than I am anyways, when it counts
so I'm stuck being hard to them
and they are so malleable that my stone won't hurt them
and they are barely aware that their ignorance is breaking me
they neglect to acknowledge my dirty secrets
maybe they know that my secrets will grow from the inside out
breaking my own defenses, the ones I worked so hard on
chipping away at my barriers
escape is not imminent
but it's coming
they're ready
