Ink Blotter

Ink Blotter

The storm

Unhappy thoughts
Replace my good mood
Sending my heart fluttering
Angrily against my chest
Demanding to prove their worth
As their ugliness turns my stomach sour
I hate myself
Those three little words
Echo through my head
As the world around me disappears
Leaving me alone with my thoughts
Tears breaking through the surface
Tearing at my mask
As the rain comes crashing down
 
My weakness on display
As the storm blows through
Bringing the darkness back

(2012)
