i’ve swallowed too much grief

now i’m drowning in it

i don't know how to say this.
i’ve swallowed too much grief.
now i’m drowning in it.

i sank slow.
didn’t notice
i couldn’t breath.

too far down.
too much weight.

you can’t scream here.
no air for it.

just dark.

heavy,
it is heavy.

Tumblr (but i flipped it up-side-down)
