When things get rough

Ocean

by Ocean

Story

Scattered

On the floor,

In the shower,

In the car.

Heavy breathing, heavy feelings.

Thoughts racing,

Never slowing down, never stopping.

My heart is beating way too fast, hurting.

Trying to win a race I already lost.

Accelerating constantly.

At the cost of my sanity.

Tired of chasing

Desperate for attention

Sick of being alone

But too damn proud to admit it.

Not even taken for granted

No, not wanted nor needed at all.

Pretending not to be bothered

Slowly falling back

Letting time crawl by

Hoping for change to come

Something

Someone


Falling from the high horse

Embarrassed and ashamed.

Dirt on the once shiny armor,

A crack in the once massive shield,

A dent in the once high held crown.

To get back on my feet

The weight must get lost

And with it most of my pride.

Humbled on my way home.
