2013 NaPoWriMo Day 15

We Are Drowning

“We all carry these things inside us
that no one else can see.
They hold us down like anchors.
They drown us out at sea.”
-          Bring Me The Horizon, “Chelsea Smile”

We are drowning,
all of us –
drowning in this great sea of chaos.
We hide from each other,
sinking under the water
from the burden of our emotions.
We refuse to seek out life rafts,
instead choosing to cling helplessly
to our wreckage.
We are damaged, broken,
living in denial.
They weigh us down,
leaving gaping black voids
in our chests –
too scared to share
our vulnerability.
Too scared
that even when surrounded
by the people that love us,
we always feel alone.
