Have you ever felt the lump
The one in the back of your throat
Choking back tears
Have you ever felt the drop
The one in your stomach
Conjuring all your fears
Have you ever felt the sting
The one causing your eyes to overflow
Messing with your head
Have you ever thought
That you aren’t good enough
Have you ever broken down
For absolutely no reason?

The trickling waterfall gliding down you face
Nothing triggered it
But still it comes
The sadness hits you so hard
That breathing becomes difficult
Someone asks what’s wrong
And it makes it worse
Because to be honest
You have no idea why you are like this

They follow you, you know that right?
Your nightmares and your past
They follow you, every night
You’ll never out run them, no matter how fast
Because you are the reason they follow
You leave them chained to you, shackled
And if you don’t release them they’ll haunt you
For whoever needs to hear it
Find the key, the good times that you’ve had.
Find the key, the dreams you want to reach
Find the key
And finally let it go

You never truely understand how much it means till you no longer have it

“The truth is that you aren’t alone, you are just blind. The truth is that you blamed yourself for everything, yet you never changed. The truth, my dear, is that it’s now over”
She blinked back her tears and stood up straighter.
“If im not alone, why do I feel like I am. And it’s not over yet” She spoke softly to no one but herself.
“Oh but it is, you know it is”
Her breathing quickened and her mind went fuzzy.
“It’s not over!” She screamed and wrapped her head in her hands.
“You know who I am, you know I’d never lie”
He chuckled and sank to the shadows.
“I don’t know who you are” she said confused.
“Oh but you do dear girl. I am you, her, him, them, I am everything and I am nothing, but most importantly I am what is known as death”
“But I’m not ready to die”
“My dear child, you already have”
