My world is crashing in around me
like the ocean at midnight.
I raise my head and
see the waves fall in.
I see the faces looking down at me.
Eyes full of sadness.
Their words fill my mind.
School. Family. Sister. Grades.
But two stick out to me.
Two ring in my ears
and beat along the walls of my head.
A solid rhythm they make.
A song of just two words.
Dave, Eric.
Dave.
Eric.
Dave, Eric. Dave, Eric. Dave Eric!
STOP!
i scream out the word.
But my voice is lost in the constant repetition of my minds song.
they are the ones that pull me down,
Yet keep me from drowning.
My worst nightmare,
and my biggest dream.
They are the ones keeping me alive.
Hate and Love.
Hell and heaven.
The anger and frustration boil inside of me,
begging to burst out.
To be released!
They want to be heard.
To be shouted from the highest cliffs.
I open my mouth, intending to let them spill from my lips.
But all that comes out...
I'm drowning.
