she falls apart

Floating on the mass of works
    commitments
        responsibilities

I feel them surround me
    suffocating me
        drowning me

Just before my hand is out of sight
    buried in the mass
        the plank of Self nudges me

I grab ahold of that plank
    held on for dear life
        and watched myself drift

Away from my family
    my friends
        my life

I lie awake in the dark
Hearing nothing but
The lull of silence

Some things are
Left unsaid and
Are yet to be spoken

So I wait
And I wait
But the words don’t come

I am confused
