I never feel well when I should
I’m drowning above the ocean
And deaf in the silence of my home
The only time I feel ok
Is as arbitrary as my pain
An umbrella in the bath tub,
With my luck it might rain
Headphones without sound
To drown the screaming out
And too many empty decorative things
To distract the dust mites.
You may think it’s strange but this is how I sleep at night.
Wonderful imagery with a nice twist at the end. I especially liked
I’m drowning above the ocean
And deaf in the silence of my home
Very stark, very powerful. Nicely done.
Thank you. To be honest it was a struggle to write this one but I love that it meant something to you.
