Deconstruction
Be careful breaking her fourth wall
 It’s dangerous to
 Look
 Through cracks
 An unobscured view of reality is not
 Liberating
 Or free
 It’s knowing that some things are just because they are
 And that some things never will be
 Breaking the fourth wall is like
 A person who tries to read the fine print of a legal contract
 Without their glasses
 Suddenly things just aren’t crystal clear
 And breaking the fourth wall is beginning to do 
 Because nobody bothered to answer the e-mail to which you attached your prayers
 Breaking the fourth wall is like
 Growing
 Changing
 Rearranging the
 Puzzle pieces so that they
 Fit together
 Rather that just being
 Forced 
 It’s like
 Laughing
 Singing
 Ringing all the 
 Bells in sight out of
 Sheer
 Spite
 Because no one listened when you just used your voice
 It’s a choice
 It’s like
 Crying in the hallway when no one cares enough to just stop and say
 Are you okay?
 So be careful when breaking her fourth wall
 There’s a reason houses aren’t built with just three
 You see
 It ruins their structural
 Integrity
 And you may find 
 That by hammering down the walls of her mind
 Yours too begin to crack
 Look back
 Breaking the fourth wall is realizing that 
 Unicorns
 Are just horses with plastic horns
