what happens...., by blackflamingo Subscribe to rss feed for blackflamingo

What happens when you
Can’t reach your own expectations?
When your failures and faults
All seem too add up, drowning
Your success and eliminating 
Any chance for mental victory.

What happens when the deep
Pools made by your tears
Are wider than the sea,
Each tear regretting being free?

What happens when the creamy
Layer you call your skin,
Is covered in memories, signs
Of the ease you see in giving in?

What happens when you realise
Your intelligence has wandered off,
Looking for someone with more gratitude 
For their future filled with knowledge.
