Drowning

I try to lose a little bit of my soul,

Shake the anxiety inside of me away;

How could a tiny little lightweight

Weigh my gravity today?

I push it out of my system,

And fight the traitors in my mind,

If only it were so easy

To stop being so blind.

Whenever I look in the mirror,

I spot scars from yesterday;

It looks so ugly like the stain

On my coffee tray.

It was darker when I last saw it,

Piling from the past history;

Now it is pure black

Engraved by the mysteries

I never noticed before.

I was too busy drowning to even look,

Spare some time to scrutinize,

At how it became more.
