Just Breathe


"Death whispers to me,

saying"honey pretty please"

But even if I ask it to leave,

It still follows me.

I turn down a dark alley,

But no it's just a hall way,

And i'm late for biology.

But as I go in they,     stare at me

                                 glare at me

I'm wishin they would leave me be.

Trapped inside a dream,

But no it's a nightmare with no key.

I locked the door wishing it would leave .

As my tears mixed with my pleas,

Please. Just leave me be.

Why in the world can't you see?

I'm in handcuffs though you say i'm free.

I am silent though i want to scream.

This was the real me.

not bound but not free.

Not blind, no i can see.

Telling myself "just breathe"

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
