26/F/Cape Town If life gave us a preview, would we still make the same decisions?
I followed, Into deep waters, I dove, Head first, Fully immersed.    I thought I’d be my saviour, But, When I started drowning, I realised, I was the anchor.

(Breathless)
Some days I feel invisible, like no one will ever see me here There’s a quiet ache beneath my ribs, This weight I always fear. My thoughts drift to a place dark and heavy, pulling me far away from the feeling of ease, I try to smile through trembling hands and what feels like, borrowed peace. I wonder if I matter, if anyone would ever know how hard it is to hold myself While feeling so low.

Unwanted.
Words, They could never hurt, They could never cut, They could never make you bleed, Physically. Words, A manifestation of self-hate, Written in bold, Anorexia, Bulimia, Depression, I was sold. Words, The last, Written on a bloodstained note, "I can't stay afloat"

Words
City lights, Views, Sunday Blues. I’ve been dimming quietly, a shadow slipping loose. No one will ever notice, The noose.

In a mess I created, Drowning, Cannot get out, Breath bated.
