Crashing Around Myself

Maybe I’m drowning in my own thoughts Maybe I’m living in my own storm Maybe the trauma of the past are the waves crashing around my ship Maybe the clouds and pouring rain drops are the fear surrounding every decision Maybe the swirling winds around every moment of life are the negative perception of hear say of events that have happened The hole causing the ship to sink is the words of the people sitting and staring just watching it drown The death of air is the suffocation of silence Use your voice is all that said But in a wreck where your voice has been drowned out by all of the background noise for so long Hope is what has been lost The disappointment is what you have become Now lost in the waters of your own head Drowning in the conclusions of perceptions instead
