This is My Redemption Arc
I taste the salt in my mouth
It tastes like
not good enough
.
I guzzle down water, cold in my chest.
I'm breathing air that's not meant for me
And they're angry about it.
Their pitchforks look like
just die already.
Swimming in the ocean of my madness
Nothing there to buoy me
And the seagulls sound like
what's the point
If there is a light, I can't see it.
The darkness envelops me.
This is where you belong.
They pushed me aside
Better to pretend I don't exist
And the alone smells like
give it up
But in the stillness there's a voice
If I'm quiet I can hear it
It feels like
keep fighting
So I do.
