why am i drowning
in the depths of unknown
i plunged myself into
and the risks
that were too big
to bridge?
i was only following
the melancholic singing
of my inner voice—
or was it your voice,
bleeding right into mine,
guiding me down
dark hallways to hell—
or was it my mother's voice,
planting morals in my mind
only to have my thoughts
grow to be weeds—
or was it just me
and my own voice
leading me to a hopeless heaven
and frail flowers,
hoping i'd find something new
waiting to be found and dived into
sitting inside of me
i took a risk with a side of laughs,
i reached for the stars
only to fall with just a handful
of regret
to stuff in my mouth
to muffle my sounds and my song—
the cries of wanting that led me here
all along
to this place of nothingness—
hollow in my heart—
that is a terrible cold
after the passionate fire
of taking a leap of dreams
love ya, as always,
mari
