Breakdown
To all the demons that once held me back
Shaking
Uncontrollable shaking
Silence
Black streaks across a wet canvas, staining
Evidence
Evidence of the breaking
Be strong
If not for yourself than for others around you, protecting
Waiting
Waiting for a moment
Alone
Embrace the darkness crouched in the shadows
Consuming
Consuming darkness
Drowning
Drowning me in my own tears
Gasping
Gasping for air that won’t come
Fading
I am ready
Familiar
A familiar touch calming me
I remember how to breathe.
