“

If I could draw you a picture of Exposure Anxiety, i’d draw you a rainbow unseen within heavy stone walls. Places in the stone where the cement had crumbled Chipped away and some of the colour had come streaming out Like a ray of light into the world.

I’d draw you a picture from inside a prison. An invisible prison with replica selves on the outside, Each a contortion, a distortion, Of the one you can’t see Who can’t get out

I’d draw you a face with a plastic smile, Perfect movements, A learned handshake And a gut full of despair and aloneness In a world that applauds the ‘appear’ at the expense of 'self’; Suicide without a corpse.
