Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning,
Emerged with nothing but a blue haze surrounding my body,
I'm so scared out of my mind.
It's also like I'm frozen solid,
Ice dripping from my nose and hands,
Unable to say a word because I'm numb to the world — lifeless.
Sometimes I feel like I'm screaming,
Putting on this mask — looks and feels like my face, but it's not,
I am so terrified of what is coming next,
I don't know how to handle it but I pretend that I am fine.
If I can have the world,
Why does it feel like burning metal in my hands?
It's melting my pour skin,
Liquid metal oozing between my finger tips,
Just barely out of reach — maybe because I'm terrified?
But I have nights — like night where I am freaking out,
I feel so alone at times despite being surrounded by loved ones,
I'm crying my eyes out as I write this,
Because my feelings are so raw and open — I'm nothing but vulnerable.
