When I say it out loud, it’s so small— like a puddle or a glass of water. I could drink it, and it would go away. When I cry it, it’s even smaller— like a shot glass, or a few drops of rain. But in my mind, it’s an ocean. A pool I can’t climb out of. I can’t hide from it there. It’s a storm so loud I try to plug my ears— but it won’t go away.

Shot Glass Storm
When I say it out loud, it’s so small— like a puddle or a glass of water. I could drink it, and it would go away. When I cry it, it’s even smaller— like a shot glass, or a few drops of rain. But in my mind, it’s an ocean. A pool I can’t climb out of. I can’t hide from it there. It’s a storm so loud I try to plug my ears— but it won’t go away.
It’s about him
