Craving for numbness

Craving for numbness
As I try to embrace
A new breath of hope…
Skepticism’s tentacles
Spread around
my being, though i…
Try to flush them away
Attempting to keep my
naive child from dying here…
and somewhere between both sides,
a part of me wants it dead…
Remaining unnoticed,
To a large amount of eyes…
Yet so cristal clear
For those to who I want
To remain unseen…
Feels like a punishment,
When I try to kill my thirst,
From a lake where it’s water
Seems to avoid my lips
Every single day,
I stare at this sea of contradictions.
And it pulls me for a swim…
