slipping

I’m slipping
sliding
towards something I don’t know
 & can’t define
but I just know I can’t go
 into that welcoming dark
I can feel it
i’m slipping


Maybe if I stay right here
Curled, tucked
No one will get hurt
I won’t lash out
They won’t reach
Maybe if I stay right here
It won’t hurt


I’m slipping
falling
faster now
plunging really
moving so fast i can’t control it


Can’t slow down
Can’t stop
Can’t breathe
Can’t find the strength to cry


i’m slipping


i’m slipping… help
all the answers i’m supposed to know don’t work


Don’t reach out


Because I’ll lash out


And I’ll hurt you…


And… i’m sorry


Please help me… I’m slipping..
