It is becoming increasingly overwhelming
The list seems neverending
Drowning while standing on dry land
Struggling to breathe
The ringing sound of silence echos in my ears
Making it impossible to think.
The pressure of it, is crushing
I simply can’t hold it up anymore
Expectations once had, lay broken in the yard
Shuffling the pieces, seeing how they fit
With the dawn comes new hope
So I lay with the pieces
Waiting for light to come, to break the dark
