May 10, 2013 - Too Many Feelings Balled up Inside Me

Ever feel like you’re drowning?
Drowning from every feeling,
All the emotions coursing through your veins,
Screaming at you,
Demanding you to pay attention to them,
No matter how much you try to avoid them,
Doing anything possible,
To step away from yourself and let everything go.

I cry,
From every impact of the sadness overwhelming me,
Every tear shed,
Every mark I made on my body,
Letting me know I’m as fragile as paper,
Nothing can make me numb anymore.

So I sit here,
Listening to all my emotions,
Hoping they’ll asphyxiate me to death.
