The pen says to the paper what you cannot say to the world.


"Jump in"

I tell you I am scared

"Jump in"

I tell you I don't know how to swim

"Jump in"

I tell you I am afraid of drowning

"Jump in"

I plunge into the water and sink

I see beautiful things surrounding me

The water feels so good

I feel alive

But once I paddle to the surface

You're not there

Nothing is there

I am alone and afriad

I am stranded in the middle of this unfamiliar ocean

The only reason I jumped

Was because I trusted you

I thought you'd be there for me

And if anything went wrong

I thought at least we'd have each other

But you're gone

And I am alone

And I have no idea what to do

I believe I'm going to die out here

All becayse I actually believed

That you could save

And that I wouldn't need anything else

Why did I believe you?
Why did I trust you?

Why did you leave me

Here

Alone

To die?

I
