Waves of Pain

Ramped emotions

the feelings inside
crash within me
like waves against the cliff side.

Their cold embrace
threaten to drown me
in their icy waters.

Waves of pain
keep spilling into me
flooding me with its all consuming despair

Hold my breath
I kick my way to the surface,
trying to find the sun's light.

My head breaks through,
take a huge gulp of air.
I made it, I survived

But the churning water drags me down again
The light slowly fading
All sence of direction gone.

The water invades me,
filling my nose and mouth
flooding my lungs.

I'm drowining in my emotions
Just when I think I am on dry ground
they drag me back with binding chains.

They can and will drag you back down.
You need someone to keep you above the water.
I feel the same way even know...emotions of disrepair.
