Bitter Bliss: A Poetry Collection

Hints

It's like you're drowning, bubbles streaming from your lips.

It's like you're falling, no idea when you'll hit.

It's like you're in a nightmare, watching others live their dream.

It's like you scream and scream but everyone is deaf.

It's like you're so empty blood must no longer flow in your veins.

It's like your tears have dried up, you've cried so much.

It's like you've worked and worked and there's no respite.

It's like a wave, crashing over your head over and over.

It's like you're climbing a cliff with no end in sight.

It's like you're tied to death, always whispering from behind the veil.

You drop hints, here and there, hoping someone will take notice

but if they do, you deny it and lie

if only some things were that easy.
