Claws

I sit here with trembling hands whisking away tears

I'm frozen, unable to stop the endless salty waterfall

Drop by drop, I lose a piece of me

As the façade slips off, 

I want to scream to the world that I’m not who you see me to be

But I fear judgement

So instead of announcing the darkness that dwells within me,

I let it stay, a manifestation of sorrow that holds me down

It sinks in its grubby claws

Never to let me go

I’m a prisoner of my own mind

I try to break free

But I’ve been cast too far deep

Drowning, I let it consume me, until the only thing I feel is hollow... 

I'm sorry
