Sometimes I'm floating.
Other times I'm just drowning,
But once feathers get wet,
It's hard to keep flying.
Waking up to face reality,
An agony close to fatality
But then it fades…
Till the slack in the chains
Snap.
And I'm reminded again.
So I close my eyes
Wishing myself away
An attempt to escape
And for a time; I do.
But it gets too heavy,
As things always do.
And I sink
Lower
And
Lower.
Almost closing in,
Face so close
I can almost see,
The nightmare that I've so carefully sowed.
The moisture hits my cheeks
I can't tell where it's from
Maybe it's from the sea.
But in truth, it'
