Sinking, too

SINKING, TOO (D G D G B E)

It’s hot shower season. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself. I’m blowing nose and biting my nails.

We’re falling from the trees like birds who have forgot how to fly. I’m running the dirt, now. Tripping in the mud.

And while everyone around comes crashing down, I’m watching through the window; a TV show I can’t turn off.

 

It’s hard to believe it. It’s hard to see the light in anything. Do they really find it funny? Did it really make you cry?

If everything is melting then I may as well be burning too. But I’m not even sweating.

And while everyone around comes crashing down, I’m watching through the window; a TV show I can’t turn off.

 

And while everyone I know is looking at each other.

I am drifting like a boat without an anchor.

 

If everyone is drowning then I may as well be sinking, too.
