I can feel myself sinking
Deeper into myself
Drowning my emotions
That I can’t seem to let out
I’m fighting for the surface
I’m struggling to breath
All this weight on my shoulders
Is asphyxiating me
I’m tired of all the secrets
You refuse to reveal
I’m sick of all the feelings I have to conceal
I’ve had enough of being paranoid
Not knowing what is real
Of ripping open old wounds,
As they begin to heal
Why can’t this feeling fade away?
And become a distant memory
Become part of a clouded past
That’s too far away to see
Lost along with my childhood
Replaced with responsibility
The person that I am
Suffocated
By who I have to be
I’m not sure which ways best to turn
Or which path is best to take
Are the things in my head
Best left unsaid?
What demons will they make?
