Drowning
March 23, 2014
It's funny how when we were younger
we were afraid of things like
thunderstorms,
disappointment
and drowning.
But now we live for the rain,
and the shaking of a storm
and the only person I disappoint is myself,
because I've pushed everyone away, and I wonder if it's because I am no longer scared of these small things, but have become my own fears.
My tears are the rain,
my mistakes are the disappointment and I am drowning in every breath I breathe.
So now,
all I can do is hide myself
and be alone in the darkness
of my mind.
