drowning

by Antwan Fields - Aries

does he want to talk to me?
do i even want him?
has my time come?
am i ready to step up?
as i drown in my pain
i see the fear reflected in my eyes
the expression of cool detachment in my eyes is fake
but my fear is real and i drown in my undercrossing fear
just in time to feel the pull of my ear
gravity waiting for my fragile ego so it can plummet
i drown slowly, unable to breathe or speak rationally
and then i float outward, alone, crazy by comparison
and then i leave, feeling the blackness settle onto me
i drowned on my own goofiness
thank you.
