Poems for a Sad Heart

I'm Drowning

My brain is a mess

Like broken glass on bare feet

the sharp edges are slicing me open

and all I can do is sit hear and bleed

But at least I am feeling something right?

Feeling something is better than feeling nothing at all

or at least that is what they tell me.

But I would rather be numb

than feel this pain in my chest.

This constant ache is killing me

and I don't know how much longer I can tolerate

It's like someone shot a hole in my chest

and the thing that makes it worse

is the sea of thoughts stuck in my head

my brain wont stop it needs to give me a break

but it wont because 2 am is the best time to think?

or perhaps its because that's when no one is watching

I need help but I'm afraid to ask

So I say nothing at all

I need help

I'm drowning

drowning ...
