it’s the accumulation of cobwebs
swept out from under the rug
making you cough
so your throat constricts.
the pile of feelings
you shoved in the closet
and never went through
collapsing in your face.
it’s a mess.
your world was a precariously stacked pile of books
waiting to
topple.
it took a mere breath
to blow your poorly sewn facade
now it’s shredded in pieces on your lap.
you probably missed a few stitches.
the wounds have been festering
eating away at your insides
colonies of parasites
feasting on your flesh.
you look in the mirror
and there is no reflection
because you are almost
gone.
it’s the law of gravity.
everything needs to fall.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.
