To Sink Back
I want to sink back
Into a life I despise.
It would be so easy,
Just let it all consume me.
I’m craving all the empty feeling.
All the sleepless nights.
All the restless days.
I thrived in this darkness.
Blossomed in myself.
But afraid to see life off my shelf.
I want to scream out,
Strike out,
Take out,
But never break out.
I want to lie on my inviting bed of nails,
Because I know they’ll never tell
All the thoughts
That bleed from my ears,
All the fears
That break free with my tears.
I want the plague
I inflicted on myself,
My nightmare curtain of self-doubt.
I want to hide within myself.
