Cognitive Dissonance

Excerpt from merchandise at RT-Corp.Myshopify.com

By Risa LuthorPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

We’ve become the enemy,

Just look at us now...

Waited in frozen time,

For it to be the same again...

For falling asleep again,

I’ll feel the pain,

Hold myself together,

Allow the venom to enter my veins...

I’ll look in the mirror and pick up the pieces,

Silently screaming, “I don’t owe you a God damn thing,

You don’t own me.”

Although, what’s the point?

Don’t open old wounds,

No one can love for the rest of their lives.

No one can trust for the rest of their lives.

Somethings just need to stay in a room alone.

An if we stand still, it will return....

I won’t pray for the holy war,

I’ve been suffocated.

The end justifies the means..
