Feel

I hear the scream so sharp so clear
I turn around but no one is there
Try to move feel like lead encased my feet
What would it take to make me feel
Sounds fade out
I can't hear I can't touch I can only speak
Looking searching for my Achilles heel
My point of weakness in spite of overall strength
My vulnerability I choose to eradicate instead
I'm falling I'm drowning in a pool of my own tears
Reaching out calling out when no one can hear
As I look at the words written on this paper
I know I've been unfair to the things that made me waver
The demons of my past that made me stronger
The pain that gave me the strength to be braver
