I am (continued and edited)
Alyssa Lemons Jun 2018
I am a single dandelion in a field of beautiful blue bonnets
I am a feather flowing in the blinding wind of a hurricane.

I am the fly who gets trapped in a web of self-destruction,
and the harder i fight,
The farther i am from freedom.
I can’t seem to break away.

I am a chameleon who morphs into my surroundings
to avoid the bad, and occasional good,
to hide from the truth of survival:
**** or be killed.
(it’s a defense mechanism.)

I am a bag full of unkept promises.
Getting heavier.

I am up and down,
A rollercoaster.
And no matter how high you are
You will always come down.
And you will crash.

I am the darkness that surrounds you,
The darkness that seems so endless.
There is no light with me.

I will take you away from your reality,
I force you to live in mine,
full of second guessing, and hatred.
I will show you what loneliness feels like
Even when i am right next to you.
I will let you down,


I always do.
yep.
