Bare Wire Soul

I’m so tired of pretending… These ribs are cracking open, letting all the truth spill out Every breath I take feels like a confession and a shout I’ve worn the mask so long it fused into my skin Now I’m tearing it away even if it takes everything The nights I smiled through fractures, the days I swallowed screams The version of me dying is the one that chased their dreams I’m done with gentle silence, done with playing small Bare wire soul exposed — let the current take it all Feel it burning… feel it raw… No more hiding what I saw This is my bare wire soul, sparking in the dark Every nerve exposed, every hidden scar I scream it to the heavens till my voice begins to break No more pretty cages — this is what it takes Bare wire soul, ugly, wild, and true If loving me means watching me burn… then watch me burn for you I’ve carried quiet oceans made of all the tears I never cried Held the weight of expectations till they crushed me deep inside Every “I’m fine” was a lie dressed up in pretty clothes Now the truth comes ripping out like thorns from a rose The little girl who tried so hard is finally laid to rest In her place a woman screaming that she’s done with second best No filters, no armor, just this trembling naked flame I’m giving you the real me — take it or walk away I was dying in the quiet… now I’m screaming while I’m living! Every piece they broke in me is finally unforgiven! Feel the voltage in my veins, hear the current in my cry This is what survival sounds like when you finally decide to fly! This is my bare wire soul, sparking wild and bright Every wound laid open underneath the naked light I scream it till my throat bleeds, I scream it till I’m free No more hiding, no more dying — this is the real me! Bare wire soul, beautiful in its pain If you can’t love the fire… then don’t stand in the rain Bare wire soul… I’m finally… whole…
