Every day I watch myself walk in the same footprint, same puddle that says splash

painfully

I start to feel my unending nerves repeating, stepping through the same

emotions

Others around are able to control me with the emotions they are

concealing


Getting through each spIash they tell me that this life will make me

stronger

Speaking to myself in hushed tones, starting to believe this lie

also

Puppeteers, telling me what I should feel, knowing I will

listen


The splash gathers raindrops in the sky, knowing what I can

handle

Catching raindrops, something insignificant turns out to be

heavy

Consuming my every thought, wanting me to lose

control


Going from a simple rain to a downpour, yes a

downpour

Slipping into raindrops, no one can hear me

cry

Laughing, thinking that I was a just a silly

game


From each state of rain, a flood is

next

I drown, wanting to be

rescued

My tears fell
hard
