I never thought I'd be the one I'd always seen as less than. Living a life society Commercializes as beautiful, But a young girl sees as Flawed and directionless; The way I go about everything.
Yet here I find myself, Pulled by the undertow toward my fate One sip, one slip at a time. Grabbed too quickly with a lurking subtly Of fingers wrapped tightly around my wrist So hard I couldn't feel myself Falling in to them.
I didn't see myself being this one, Driving home when the light nearly peeks On the eastern side of my windshield. Shaking so hard I can barely breathe Knowing you said things you didn't mean Only because of the drinks- And begging myself to believe that.
Sometimes I shake away the good things Simply because they are good, And I've felt so much good I want to know what bad is. The truth my wandering eyes escape Seems glaringly obvious in the daylight- The bad is not good, it is wretched.
Still, I'm at this place That only I've brought myself to. Standing on the borders of capabilities, Yet unable to cross in either direction. Toward knowing deterioration, Or a pure sense of empty accomplishment Neither of which pulls me.
It seems I'll walk the tightrope For a little while longer, Lest my gravitational fate Allow my free-fall to end in a landing.
