She’s lived here
most of her life
She never thought
that would change.
But now she's
drowning
in goodbyes,
walking
out the door,
hoping
it doesn’t lock her out.
There’s so much
to say
to do
to confess
to love
to appreciate
to miss
yet so little time.
Time passed by
like a fallen leaf in the air,
whisked
away
By the harsh winds.
Time
Moves on
even if you don’t.
But as time moves on,
as the days are whisked away,
our group
won’t ever
be the same
without her.
I close the windows
Lock the doors
Turn off the lights
I don’t ever want to leave this room.
I am tired of drowning
In a world
That has never prepared me to swim.
There are ten days left until the first day of my freshman year,
And I am fearful.
Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,
For I have been taught to survive
but never to truly live.
One day,
you will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, detached from the world, lost in a void of darkness.
