My brain creates these awful lies.
Lies that eat away my self confidence.
Drowns my body,
Like cold water freezing my movement.
I can't eat.
I can't sleep.
The color I see through my eyes,
Get washed away with salt water.
I open my eyes and everything is grey.
Everything cold.
I reach my hand out for help,
But people laugh.
They look the other way.
Saying it's a phase,
Just stand up and you won't drown.
You're just like everybody else.
And you're right I am like everybody else.
But not bc it's a phase or trend,
But because they need help too.
Drain the ocean of sorrows that we're drowning in.
Paint the color back into our eyes.
Pull us out of the water.
Warm our bodies with your words,
With the truth.
Help us.
