DROWNING

I'm drowning
I feel myself
letting go
my fingers
are slipping
nothing to
hold on to
any longer
I'm drowning
tears running
down my face
the saltiness
stinging my
lips the
heaviness in
my heart
constant sorrow
too much
to bear
I'm drowning
feeling scared
sad and
vulnerable
I want to
scream and shout
I want to
feel a different
kind of pain
I want to
forget that
I'm drowning

PAIN I

so hard
to stay away
from pain
and sorrow
it draws
me in
familiar
and safe
over and
over and
over again
I swallow
the panic
smile
through tears
feeling so
small and
afraid
hide behind
laughter
and put
on a mask
my world
is about to
shatter like
fallen glass

RAINDROPS

raindrops
dripping on
my window sill
soothing and
comforting
like a warm
embrace
like a first kiss
the warmth
of the lips
gently touching
mine tingling
feeling down
my spine

raindrops
dripping on
the ground
reassuring and
consoling
never lasting
disappearing
until no more
brief sense
of calm
and peace
before the
storm sets in
shatters all
