Overwhelmed by simple tasks
What is this I have become?
Sadness, behind my smiling mask
Truth is… I am feeling numb

Emotional, at the slightest change
Tears flow, and for no reason
Even to myself, I feel quite strange
Perhaps, it is that time of season

Where leaves once painted the trees
Now they lay, lifeless and brown
I watched them whirl, in the breeze
On their way, swiftly, falling down

I can relate to the leaves, you see
I’ve spiraled with them, for so long
Much like a twister, roaming free
Yet, unknowing if I truly belong

Drowning ~ #poetry #MarchWriting

Too many people, inside of my head

Most fill the hours, with sorrow or dread

Nothing makes sense, I just want to shout

The only way through, has no way out

I’m stuck here, inside me, what can I do?

I’m feeling so foolish, I wish that I knew

How to get rid of the confusion, so snide

It ruffles my feathers and flattens my pride

There’s too much noise, as it swirls all around

I need to plant my feet, on more solid ground

Though I try to quiet my brain, as I lie here, instead

Still seems like I’m drowning, in a nonsensical head
