PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am only still here

cause I can’t leave

you hear me tell you

yes exactly what you’re doing

when I haven’t opened my mouth

tell me

how did I learn to lie like that

do I fit it to me

or do I mold myself to it

curling into discomfort

like my favorite shape

saying don’t worry

next time it will be easier

to bend instead of break

I am still here

half a human with a messy heart

unopened and still floating

simply living with the things that are done to me

remembering every shark

when it whispers by my shoulders

before I realize I’m drowning again

I like to call myself

a strong one

until the sun falls at my feet

and I refuse to get burned
