18/F/Wikwemikong We carry the oceans within us- Mara
My lungs are filled with water Yet i'm not drowning With every breath I spit some out and can breath a little more My heads filled with negative thoughts Ones that tell me to die Yet with every conversation of my feelings I feel a little better I can see it The finish line is so close I've worked so hard to overcome everything And today I feel I can finally say I'm feeling a little better

A Little Better
To be stripped down layer by layer To lose yourself and everyone else To be ***** by every vowel Every letter Hurts As the burning sensation of the vowels cut deep To be made small To shrink so low that you are no longer visible So minuscule that no mole can find your mass So small that maybe just maybe The words won’t hurt because your heart is so small To be molded by the words the person is speaking A shape so unimaginable As they mold you in the most inhuman way possible To be stripped down layer by layer To lose yourself and everyone else By the time you’ve awoke Your lungs are empty And you're no longer the person you used to be
