The mellow soft voice echoing inside you the cutting knife of self critism internal hermoriging you drown in your own bodily fluids the crush of the weight of the world on your back you ask why why you why you are why you are such why you are such a wimp you fall down before the fear of the fight if you stand it could cost you the energy that you need to breathe but is breath worth taking in if you are to continue like this you flow down the street into the grate swimming in the fear afraid to stop the world whirlpools around you you head pounds within from your own pluse you pray for the end feeling helpless hopeless homeless the undertow draws you down alone you cry out in the crowd but silence is your only voice the words shout in your mind
