Sinking In Poem by Liyo Denorte

lying awake
trying to sleep
caught up with
the cob webs of thoughts

running
dancing
suffocating

i'm wandering around
beckoning for them to listen
but i cannot speak
the vastness of my plea

a cold voice: you are the most selfish person i ever knew
a soft voice: you are drowning
then another one says: good riddance

fine,
i'm leaving now.
with the baggage full of unspoken words.
it's too heavy
would like to get rid of the unnecessary
i want to untie it
but someone sealed it
and 'twas very tight.

again, i run, i dance, i suffocate.

going down
down
down
down

down

down towards the bottom
of deep anger
sinking in
a silent scream
