The Flood

I'm getting closer to breaking down everyday, every second that goes by stabs me like a sharpened blade.

My vision is blurred by so many tears I can't cry out.

So much pain at the same time as being totally numb.

More than I can handle, more than you could ever imagine.

The pain only magnified by years of trauma and neglect.

There's nothing I can do to stop it,

the water's rising, and I'm stranded.

Awaiting the flood.
