The Overflow
Alicia Jun 2013
Eyes leaking
Shaking, shivering
but the worst part is you have to be silent
You have to stay strong for other eyes are on yours
Theirs too leaking, pouring
Your strength is their platform
but when your spotlight is gone and it is dark
You're weak
Quietly engulfing yourself in your own emotion
Waiting for the day when you reach your breaking point
When your eyes leak so much that they overflow
With your eyes, your lungs and heart follow
Slowly overflowing, slowly filling to the top of what use to be a beautiful body
That has now been corrupt with fake smiles and silent outbreaks

Slowly slipping
Alicia Jun 2013
Slowly Slipping Sailing Soaring
subtle movement of my subconscious
Dripping Dangling Dropping Downwards
diligently losing my dancing dreams
Patiently Perceiving Passing Persistence
pretending to be what is perceived
constantly categorized can't continue
Slowly Slipping Sailing Soaring

— The End —
