Out of line
Out of breath
Out of luck
Out of time
Out of fucks
Out of control
Out of my mind
(I'm fine)
If only I could heal
If only I could breathe
If only I could run away
If only I could see
I wish I could trust
I wish I could scream
I wish I could understand
I wish I could believe
I don't want to cry
I don't want to hear
I don't want to feel
I don't want to fear
Maybe I should just have a drink
Maybe scribble all this pain out of my chest
Blood, ink, wine, tears
Maybe they'll all blot out this whole fucking mess
Maybe then, I'd get some rest
Where is this altar of hope,
where fools go to pray?
Where is my faith?
Where is my confidence?
Where is my sanity?
(I'm ok)
About the Creator
MELISSA BAILEY
I've always found calmness in writing. I'm a quintessential Pisces, I feel everything and writing helps keep me grounded. As such, I write mostly poetry, but I'm spreading my wings and trying my hand at some short stories.
