sadness (Remove filter)
dry drowning
The day suffocates my soul
Each minute sends me further
The more I fight the harder my body fights back
Good things happen but I am blind
The only thing I hear is silence
Faces pass, I smile back only out of habit
My body has learned how to pretend

Doubt
Though I am surrounded
I am the loneliest person
Though I am celebrated
I am forever losing
Though I am revered
I am despised in one's eyes
Though I am loved
I am hated, truly hated
Though I walk with many
I am the lone walker
Though I hear your sincerity
I am deafened by self pity

except sit and stare.
The distant sounds
of joy and laughter
drifting like echoes
in dusty rafters.
As you slowly subside,
sinking way down low
and you're silently wondering
how far you can go.

I write because...
I write to return to sanity,
to give respite to my bitterness,
to avoid falling into the void,
to feel that I'm alive
To calm my overwhelmed reproaches,
to the muffled word that grinds my insomnia
until I’m diluted in the wind
To speed up the torrent that my body needs,
that germinates flowery fragments within
and not move on through uncertain paths
I w...
