As the veil permeates

I want to dive in but there’s hesitation

Something is holding me back from ascending

I’m tied to the womb and it’s pulling me under

I can feel the void begging me to

Cut the ties preventing my full submersion

But my heart betrays me in the

Grips of terror I am staring my death in the face and begging it to take me

 

Take me

 

I want to see what lies beyond the curtain

I want to know the man who’s

Pulling the strings so I can finally

Feel what it means to know myself

 

I’m sinking

Sinking deeper going under

 

As the boarder evaporates

As my breath is swallowed I accept my fate

See I don’t mind dying its eternal life that is so terrifying

If I’m breathing then I know I'm dreaming

 

Dreaming

 

I’ve been praying for an answer

Waiting for the mirror to

Show me something that will let me

Feel that it’s safe to be myself

 

I’m sinking deeper

 

I’ve been treading water for so long

I don’t think that I can

Keep my head above the water for much longer so

 

I’m sinking
