My bell jar never leaves me
Everywhere I am, everywhere I go
I can never escape
My bell jar always sits above me
I’m trapped within the glass
Peering out, viewing others’ happiness
My bell jar can never be broken
I’ve tried to shatter it
But it always seems to reform
My bell jar will suffocate me
The walls will just keep getting smaller
Until the last drop of air escapes
My bell jar will collapse
As soon as the walls close in, it will fall
Bringing me down with it
– Inspired by “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath

I go to this bar on occasion, and a waitress that works there has a Bell Jar tattoo, and she’s the one that told me all about it, so it’s great to see someone be inspired by her. You’ve made this your own. Excellent work.
