Chapter 9 - Paper towels

I'd cry and cry, knowing the more I let my emotions flow the more empty I'll feel,

My sorrow flooding the very room, it's all surreal.

My face felt so hot but my body felt so cold,

A shiver sure to fold,

I stare off at the ceiling, why am I here?

Life put me here, and kicked me in the rear,

Guilt and relationships causing me to adhere.

The countertops wet with my melancholy,

I tear off a paper towel to dry the surface,

Thinking about how others seem so jolly,

My tears come gushing out again.

I tear more and more paper towels but it's just not enough.

Not even close to enough.

I'm drowning in my own sadness and nothing can save me.
