Stormy Seas
I don’t feel stable enough to leave-
I don’t feel stable at all.
Things went so wrong on Monday.
I was so embarrassed-
They made me go home, I had no choice in the matter.
This is horrid, I cannot do this anymore.
I know what is wrong-
These damned pills
I just want to run.
I just want to confide in him.
He’d be helpful, but there’s a thick sheet of ice he’d need to permeate in order to understand-
We don’t have time for this.
But there’s no alternative-
I had to escape- I can usually succumb at home and go on with the day.
My world is crumbling-
I am strong, I should be able to triumph-
The weakness prevails.
I am unstable, it’s rather obvious to the world, but I thought I had more solid stitches than this.
I couldn’t even give him the letter-
What’s to become of me?
Just sit still and write… that’s all I can do right now.
I’m docked at bay despite the stormy seas.
I just want to dive and allow myself to melt into foam.
I cannot walk on solid ground-
I don’t feel stable at all.
