in front o me two roads.

one side named pain and the other being freedom.

the taste of freedom is teetering of the tip of my tongue.

but pain draws me in like a rip current pulling me into the deep dark ocean.

the tsunami of destruction crashes against my face and leaves me struggling for breath.

every stroke towards the road to sanity creates an undertow that pulls me back to that little voice telling me to give in.

trying to aced from the undertow i see the somber clouds cast upon me.

ever darkened cloud is every reason to give in.

for a split second i let myself drown because i am no longer afraid of the dark.

i hope my poem will connect with someone who knows what its like to feel real pain and to feel like their drowning in an ocean full of their saddness their mistakes. an their sorrows
