sketches of a bipolar girl: Get Ready for the Outside World

silly girl
you forgot to put on your extra layer of skin.
You know, the skins that keep the world at bay.
instead you went out naked
nothing to reflect the acid in other's mouths
you got burned again, the pain went to the core
go back into the house, child
you're not ready for the real world
you still believe in magic
they are waiting for you
you are not strong enough to fight them yet
don't worry, you will be
in the mean time, stay with those who truly love you
everything will be alright
you will find someone who accepts you and your scars
go back into the house for now
this is about survival, so go and dress for the day
cover yourself and stay low
silly girl
