My mind is a pool
DEEP. DARK.
Full of chemicals
to destroy my inner filth, but don’t
The chemicals just mask it for now
At midnight
12:07
I lay awake
Swimming through my thoughts
I try to understand what you’ve done
Swimming into my depression
You’ve dragged my heart so deep
Then I remember
I cannot swim
Not in waters of the devil
But by now it’s too late
For I am drowning
I feel your grip
Much stronger than mine
Holding me under
I’d save myself
And gasp for air
But what’s the point?
About the Creator
Kayla Sheppard
Full of darkness in search of my light
