I feel like I’m choking on words Like the thoughts in my head are there, but I can’t let them out I can’t let them escape So I grasp onto the little hope that I have left But I’m growing old and slowly, but surly letting my emotions unfold They just cave in I cave in I feel like I’m drowning ******* take me push me under until I can’t breathe Swallowing the water making me a little less empty Hold me down soon I’ll perish I’m fading out You all wanted honesty? Honestly I’m drowning completely now I don’t know what to say most of the time I hold back until I relapse and feel numb inside There’s so much on my mind, but people don’t want to hear it most of the time Often they say they care, but truly aren’t there when I’m dying on the inside All you see or understand is what’s on the outside You’re all only there when in need or despair That’s why I write because at least the sheets hear me when I’m tearing my eyes out over the pages Ink bleeds, but better that than me It would be nice for someone to understand me and appreciate what I have to offer and mean to be Feeling lost and every so lonely But lately I haven’t even seen the mirrored self image of myself clearly I’m lost I’m blanked out All the colors of life turning into dark storm clouds Can you see now as rain trickles down I need you all now before time runs out I’m getting tired out my eyes mostly closed I can’t escape the words in my head that clutter about Screaming As my pen loses ink Am I a poet now?
Whenever we suffer a physical or emotional trauma, it is said that part of our soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. With every cut or wound our essence and vitality grows weaker.
