Brick

A girl with a smile on her face

Hiding the tears no one can trace

Laughing often, laughing out loud

Just to hide the tear dripping sounds



That’s me in the corner

Knife in my hand

Ready to bleed

Be covered with sand



It’s a brick wall that no one can break

Water is thick, but one brick, it will drown

Bringing the rest of it

Crumbling down



That’s me walking along

Going nowhere at all

Stumbling disastrously

Knowing I’ll fall



Just dried up mud

Hard as a rock

Drowned by a flood

It’s just a big block



That’s my guard held up

It’s tightly locked

It’s totally sealed

From what my heart forgot

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes I feel like I'm weighed down by a brick - drowning deeper into the pool of my emotions - trying to fill my lungs with the power to scream out for help, hoping someone will hear me - but the blood of my emotions seeps in, drowning me deeper.
