I want to say That I am Drowning These walls are caving in And I no longer know how to survive It’s like I’m trying to swim But my hands and feet are tied. I want to say That this sadness Has infected my lungs So breathing has become an Abomination. I want to say That life has torn At the verge of my strength I am numb. I am empty. My grave Is this body. But I’d rather not ravage Someone’s mood With my tragic honesty So I goof away Like everything is a laughing matter And I say something acceptable, like: “I’m alright. How are you?”
