Out of breath
They say to ask yourself questions So that you get to know yourself better But what if you dig so deeply It starts to hurt Everything you see Everything you feel It’s too much You just want it to stop You want to swim back up to the surface But you’re almost out of breath…

Words Hurt
Words are powerful. Once they’re there, you can’t take them back. It’s not a bruise, Something that can heal easily and be forgotten.
