save the sinking ship

​you know them days 

when you’re just tired

and just want to stay curled up in bed

far far away from thinking

and far far away from the present 

cause you feel a little lost

and a little trapped 

but you want to make things work out

but you’re just so tired of it all

and just want a break

and

a little room

just to take a breath

and then another 

until you no longer feel suffocated by each breath  

because you’re no longer convinced that

it’s all going up in flames 

and then everything’s okay for a while

until something reminds you of all your fears

and then you begin salvaging the wreck once again

because deep down you hope 

it’s not too late to save the sinking ship

or the drowning dreams.
