But Right Now I Just Needed To Share How I Feel Whenever I Make Even The Smallest Of Mistakes - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
Packs of sharks all staring at me...
Unblinkingly.
The dark eyes glare in disapproval,
And I'm just trapped there, unmovable.
They circle around me with no effort,
All while I flounder, I gasp, I panic;
I try to fix my mistake.
They know of my weakness
And they take bites of my brain.
"You're an idiot! You're a clutz!
"We're ashamed to call you one of us!"
My own feelings shut me down.
My body won't listen to me.
While the sharks all just go to town,
And then leave me to the mercy of the sea.
Finally they swim away from me; a job well done
Hundreds of sharks swimming as one.
I try to follow because I'm desperate,
So desperate to not be alone.
The sharks swim so fast just to breathe,
And I'm left behind;
Left to sink into the darkness of the open sea.
