You were the sun
I looked up to you
As you would shine your light on me
The slivers of false hope I held onto
You were once the light in my life
Now you’re a black hole
Your gravity is pulling me in
Every time I try to escape
You shine your light a little brighter
And I fall so easily
For your manipulation
Will I ever learn
To live without the light?
Will I ever free myself
Of your gravity?
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.
