I feel alone in this storm,
this mess
this silent chaos,
unexpressed
not willing to swallow my pride
I hide
behind waves of smiles
waves of lies
pretending
to be afloat
as my vision splits
in half
of what I let you see
those gentle waves
that try to carry me
but underneath
I’m being pulled
by strong currents
dark and cold
trying to drown me
though,
I try to wait it out
waiting for the drought
but I can only tread for so long
