Treading Water To Freedom
By: Tyler Ross
I started off on the wrong foot
or at least you’d like me to think.
I blinked twice and saw you above me.
Teary eyed and torn in two,
a reflection of what’s inside of me.
Consumed,
with anger, distrust
and the distancing,
I walk this solitude alone.
Scared of what I’m becoming.
Closed off,
afraid to continue to be disappointed
by the walking, talking heartless
I find myself in front of.
Draining my everything
into a pool of unhappiness,
I am stumbling forward,
in search of
a beautiful accepting exit,
that will hopefully assist with my departure
away from this all.
away from this all.
