Going through the motions
Getting distancing back-to-back
To stable my emotions
My tears form waves like the
motion of the ocean
By pain I was slowly broken down like erosion
Like a ghost past pain haunts
I’m still going through the motions
Waters becomes still and
suddenly I am frozen
By what everyone else wants I’m motioned
Energy drain from all the commotion
Walls start to close air gets thin
And I feel like I’m chocking
I feel like I’m drowning sinking
Slowly drifting to the bottom of the ocean
But nobody notices
I start to reach for the top
Lungs start to burn
The fire grows and never stops
I give up on reaching out for help
Vision blurs
With realization I’m by myself
Lungs fill with water
And I can’t breathe
I become Unconscious I can’t think
My lung become an explosion
I love too hard unwanted devotion
Unhappy with self never had much notion
I’m Stuck and can’t move –
still going through the motions.
