I wanted to scream at you.
I wanted to say "I'm here! Notice me!"
But,
I couldn't.
I couldn't bare to see the look on your face if i did.
The disappointment,
The anger,
The confusion,
And most of all the sadness.
the sadness when you relized that I'm just a broken boy
I child tossed into a sea of monsters.
I can't swim.
I can't float.
I'm drowing,
I'm drowing in shades of blue,
My tears,
My scars,
My soul,
The sea,
And my heart.
Covered in a thin layer of ice,
So small,
Yet so tall.
So flimsy,
Yet so strong.
I wanted to scream
But I couldn't let you see the ice in my soul.
so I stayed silent.
hoping that you could melt my heart.
I wanted to scream.

-R.Blackwell
