EMPTY
you know the feeling. The salty
taste .swollen heart pierced eyes.
I feel disconnected with myself at
this point in the system .I’m
trying to connect emotions with
feelings but my hope is fading .I’m
drowning .drowning with the heavy
conscience. drowning with life’s
pain. the air is filled with déjà
vu. the earth is filled with
misery .like I died. I feel my
bones deteriorating. my mind is
swollen with the thoughts of being
free. I’m suffocated with the idea
that I won’t make it out. I won’t
make it to the brink. i’m filled
with anxiety and worry and fear
fear. Fear that I won’t pass the
test that lies before me. I stretch
my hand out and wait. wait in the
silence. the sorrow. the weight of
the world has crushed me.
