Sinking
May 18, 2023
Falling.
crashing under waves of my own creation.
Sinking.
Drowning in words left unsaid.
Trying to breathe, trying to break the surface.
But it's so, so cold outside.
The surface is frozen, I'm stuck inside these thoughts.
my vision starts to fade, my lungs begin to burn.
My head seems to swell, teeming with these words I wish I said.
My vision goes dark, the thoughts clear.
My head is empty,
as I finally
drift off
to sleep.
