sobering

Can I ever breathe again 
or do I have to drown in the worst of me?
countless loose ends swirling in my head
darkness has overshadowed the trough within

days have gone by, turning into mist
heaved my sorrows like a wind 
the smile and the shine are asking for a tryst
but my skin has worn a mask so unkind

waiting to be heard, to get out there
hauling my spirits to breakthrough
marching my thoughts to untangle this web
denying myself to souvenir this rue

"it's okay to be a little lost"
keeping this memoir as a train of thought
misery is a bane at thy cost
turn the tide to release this knot.
