I'm losing touch (can't stop holding on).
The world's spinning, spinning, spinning
out of control (I'm just along for the ride).
It rises in my throat and chokes back (chokes me?)
the feelings, going numb
as I (or this thing inside)
bend over and let loose the barrier that holds me back.

Back from what?
back from happiness
heartache
love
and (maybe I lied)
it's been gone for a while now
but the cold tile under my head (softer than any touch I've ever felt)
soothes the burning in my throat (heart?).
How ironic.

Hi, I am new here, this is my first post!
I really liked that piece. It was so raw with emotion, yet it left the reader with a lot to think about. It can have many different meanings too I suppose!

Holy Crap! I LOVE this. I think I might just print it out and put it on my wall.

Amazing write, library. I'll be reading more.
