The noose tightens Around my emotional neck. When the chair is knocked from under the weight of my emotional trauma Only the moment can define when to deem me as a wreck. As I suffocate from the lack of people who deem me as "Worthy" and even bother to "stick around....." I scream inside.... As I am darkness bound. I have been fighting myself for so long Due to the lack of returned emotions. Now here I swim against and have started drowning in fear's ocean. Would anyone notice to pull me out of despair's water? Or should I be able to do that myself? When there are no tools left on my heart's shelf. Should I drown out all colorful emotional parts of my soul? To be what everyone expected? When their hateful words and lack of warmth took their tolls. As I try to keep doggy-paddling against despair's tides.
