Why,
Does it feel like I am in an ocean,
Drowning in words I cannot explain nor express.

Like falling down through the infinite time of life until it decides to collapse and give out.

Like I am choking on words that stay stuck in my throat,
as I stay up at night watching those navy blue skies and gray clouds,
and starry night with the bright moon looming, illuminating my room.

Like the stress filled afternoons,
and wanting to get away and leave but never actually being able to do it.

To want to accomplish but,
never having the energy to do so.

My fire is slowly dying,
the tears that stream inside,
killing the fight...

And we all fight to stay alive..?
Don't we fight only to survive,
That is until we reach our undeniable end and die.

I never knew that after I let some droplets fall,
A river would flow...
