Anonymous Letter #5 Weekly Theme: Internalizing Sometimes I feel like I'm suffocating, hardly breathing even Stuck in such a crowded place, and everywhere I turn there’s someone there The further I walk the deeper I get pulled in, pulled under. It feels as if there are hands grabbing my feet with each footstep I take, pulling me down further and further, I call for help but no one can hear me, I can’t hear the sounds of my own voice really. But the more I get pulled down, the more I start hearing a little voice, and the words I hear are, “You’ll never be good enough" “It’s not that serious just let it go” “You deserve to be alone” As I start to hear these things, I try to run, pull myself up out of this hole, But there’s no rope to grab onto, no hand to hold onto. But, these voices aren’t people, these hands grabbing my feet aren’t real, their my thoughts and sometimes it feels there’s no escaping them Like there’s no way out, Like I’m stuck with them.
