Monkey Bars

[colicolo]

The fact or the matter
Semantics or truth
There nothing that interesting
About being so aloof

I'm too stone inside
Or my words make my hands soft
She wanted me to let her in
I was afraid of the cost

So I let go
I pushed far away
I jumped over that hurdle
And kept running away

I protected myself
From that shameful past
Surely sharing the secrets
Meant it would last?

Now they still haunt me each time
When I'm stuck by myself
And she can't use it against me
But I'm not in good health

No one to turn to
Nothing to hold
But letting her in
Just seemed so old

We weren't made in heaven
But were a happy match
But I pushed her away
So my heart wouldn't crash

Now I still travel alone
But come home to no one
Kick myself in my sleep
But it's time now to move on

I like it.

secrets and closets, no matter how painful, are sometimes necessary to preserve a sense of ourselves and who we are today.

it's only ever been you and the monkey bars.

nicely put.

 

[colicolo]

We need to let go before we can move on. Monkey bars are a part of our lives.

i was never strong enough as a kid to support my own weight on the monkey bars at the park,
my own weight still crushes down upon me everyday.
