Drown Me

drown
I can no longer hold my breath.
I rather drown, then wade in false hope.
You’ve given me every emotion I’m capable of,
I’ve fallen hard, so many times.
How do I keep going? How am I still just suppose?
I shout and shout, forgive me,
across this universe
…only to be a ghost.
You’re not me,
no you’re not.
You still can’t say…
…father.

    1. Thanks Drew, life creates a story sometimes. Always hoping for a happy ending. This piece came out of me that day I posted, feels subconscious until it’s on paper. Always appreciate your commentary. Have a great weekend my friend.
