Unsettled Sand

April 14, 2011
By Anonymous

I hide myself in my room, hoping they don't notice that I'm gone.
I try to be happy, sometimes I succeed, but more rarely I fail. Knowing that i can't talk to someone about how I feel. Trying just makes it harder.
I think about how I don't want to eat, sleep, live. Just lay in a lake and feel my body slowly sink down, down, down, till I reach the bottom. Letting the unsettled sand settle on me, leaving me hidden forever never to be found. Hidden forever from danger.

usually pieces of mine that are like this, are written when I feel depressed, or have had a bad day.
