it's like a deafening scream,
close to your ear,
lips barley touching
the surface,
and with full force,
you are suddenly freighted.

you cannot speak,
you cannot move.
you are nothing
but a thick block,
waiting for the worse to come.

that is the life,
of a person i
could never comprehend
when i was younger.

but here we are,
in the depth
of my destruction,
i am a ticking
time bomb,
exploading at the next
big thing.

i am the heart made of stone,
going against the raging fire
that is my passions.

i am a vessel
of the roaring sea,
that crashes against
the shores of my
incompetence.

for i cannot breath,
another second,
without the oxygen
of my disheartening
depressions.

and for someone,
who craves the change;
rips the skin of her emotions
when she has to let go.
until she is bare,
bleeding,
and raw.

screaming to let go,
of the trap she's incased herself in.
