Drowning inside of my head
My thoughts poking at me
Edging me to do things that I shouldn’t
To hurt others... to destroy myself, to make everything bleed

Struggling to think of happy thoughts
Brighter days;
Being overcomed by waves of anger and sadness

Empty promises cause my mind to surge

Why do I keep letting people do this to me -
Why can I not tell them how I feel -
Why do they say what they can never do...
Why do I believe?

A hurricane is storming inside of me,
My tears the only sign of pain
A sign that only my bedroom sees.

Though I’m grounded
I’m lost at Sea
