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

But my mind will never grasp the concept

My heart aches constantly

It pushes against my rib cage

It is a prisoner trying ...

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

Though I walk with many

I am the lone walker

Though I hear your sincerity

I am deafened by self pity

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
