When I feel like I'm drowning
Slowly falling into the depts
And I can't see the light
After I've screamed and I've wept
~~*~~
I take out a slip of paper
To pour my heart out
And scribble down furiously
Everything I've wanted to shout
~~*~~
As words bleed onto the pages
And letters are weaved together
When sentences start to roll in
I begin to feel better
~~*~~
A weight is lifted
After someone's heard my inner turmoil
Even if the someone is a sheet of paper
At least it won't recoil
~~*~~
As the waters start to settle
The pain has not taken form
I know the silence is only temporary
Like the calm before the storm.
