Drowning World - Ien Oblique

Heavy, inside

Like the air is

Pushing you down

But this gravity

Has always won

And so much energy

Is spent

Holding it

All down

Like treasures lost

You’ve hidden it well

Your two realities

Clash

One for them and

One for yourself

And you only show

What you want them to see

Now the days

Feel

More pointless than before

And you know it’s time

It’s time to end this

War

You’re constantly turning

Tired of building bridges

Then burning

Your drowning world’s

Coming up for air

Nowthe pain, is too much

It pushes

You back in time

Where faint memories

Come up from so long ago

Without apology

The shift hits

Another life

Is begging to breathe

When you replace the lies

You know you’re finally

Free

You’re constantly turning

Tired of building bridges

Then burning

Your drowning world’s

Coming up for air
