Sinking

I am ready to free myself

Ready to release the chains that I tethered to my soul

I was the girl who didn't see her own rays

I was the girl who rode her own wave

I was stronger

I wasn't afraid 

But as I got older, I couldn't breathe

Drowning by every lie, both yours and mine

Drowning by the drama of wasted time

But now, I let go. 

I can feel myself slowly coming up for air

It helps to realize that I'm the only one who could ever care.

So breathe.
