You can't win a battle with the world
if you are at war with yourself

How easy it is
to sink to the bottom
Relax
Exhale
Close my eyes
and just sink
Give in to fatigue
Cease my struggling
It's hard to stay afloat
But how easy it is
to sink
It can feel like the lesser struggle to give in and let life beat us down sometimes, to stop struggling, grinding and fighting. Letting ourselves go and giving in to comfort can have a strong allure, but the plight it will cause will be the same as a drowning person giving up on swimming to shore. It may be easier to give in, but it will ensure your demise.

I am angry
I don't know why
I don't know for how long
but I am angry
It hurts me that I am angry
I am angry because I am scared
I don't know why I am so scared of being angry
but I am angry
It is affecting everyone around me
hurting the ones I love
this makes me scared of hurting them
I am angry.

If I am a crying success,
might I be a happy failure?

She never lied
Just whispered dreams in present tense

What if it is me?

What if
I am what lurks in the shadows
What if
I am what scares me most
What if
I am capable of doing what others won't
What if
I am the monster under the bed
What if
I am the thing to be feared
What if
evil is me.
Many prefer to remain ignorant to their capacity for evil

I stay silent
my mindĀ filled with thoughts
everything I want to say
Trapped
not even a whisper can escape these lips
nothing slips past the pearly gates
anytime these words broke free
I was met with contempt
So I stay quite
with a mouth full of glue
hoping that one day
I can stand up to you
