Expressing Me

Drowning

I am sinking into the darkest depths

Of my cold heart without a free will,

I don't know where I am,

Maybe a nightmare I'll have to fulfill.

I look around and I see nothing,

Is this what it's like to feel alone and lost?

I ended up here because I dared

To cross the line that must never be crossed.

There's something else in here,

A presence that I can't put my finger on,

It's icy, chilling up my spine, making sure

I know that it wants me gone.

Mist swirls around me,

Circling around my skinny frame,

Then there's a whisper,

Thousands of them uttering my name.

My eyes widen in fear and shock,

As I realise that I am chained,

I call out for help, for a sign,

My voice is more than pained.

All around me there's cracks,

Cracks in the darkness of the room,

Everything is pitch black,

Representing my daily gloom.

The walls wither and break apart,

The cracks reveal the peek of light,

It rests on me and expands across the room

Trying to blind my very sight.

The darkness is now just a mere memory,

But the ashes on the floor is proof that it was real,

I am the most famous person in my world as

The girl who's heart would never ever heal.

The whispers are still getting in my head,

Reminding me of how much I wasn't to anyone,

I failed to protect myself,

From life; the game that I never won.

It's threatening to destroy my world,

I'm falling, but now I am caught,

Caught by nothing but death itself

Until all I am now is a forgotten thought.
