My world shatters
and I pick the pieces apart,
put them together
get cut.
I want to be nice. I want to be safe.
Greet, wave, smile.
Stay, nod, cry-
you have to survive
but at the end of the day
it always ends up the same.
You lose your peace.
I wanted to be kind. I wanted to be safe.
Drowning in a sea
i didn't set my foot in.
Learning to swim
The waves crash in.
I gasp for air
but it's not there
it pulls you back at the beginning.
Can you see me?
It's dark
empty
alone-
like a void
you lose control
but you're free,
it feels like home.
I am safe.
