Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
The sound is trivial; insignificant. However, as I’m surrounded by this defeaning silence, it is all I know. The gentle noise fills my ears; a cacophony that doesn’t go away.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
I’m cracking my knuckles; wringing the corner of my flimsy dress. Tapping a foot on the floor, shaking my head rigorously.
Drip.
I’m banging on the walls; screaming in agony.
Drip.
My eyes dart around wildly; hands claw away at emptiness.
Drip.
Suddenly, I’m sinking.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
I’m fading away.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
I’m fading away into nothingness.

I wrote this a while back, and came across it when I was reading through old notes in my phone. And I remember I was asked to post it on here by my critics (aka the besties). And if you thought it sucked, blame them for letting me believe otherwise.
If you didn’t get it, it’s supposed to be a metaphorical piece. The dripping of that something is a metaphor for her dwindling sanity. So basically, with every drop washing away, she’s going insane.
Really makes you wonder about what kind of shit goes on in my mind, no?
I know I said no posts till the exams are over, but I couldn’t resist! I’m on the fourth chapter, there are eight in total. This is Saturday night, and my physics exam’s on Wednesday.
HELP.
Love,
Sky who’s frantic af, xoxo.
P.S.: How cool am I for making my own featured images?
Hm, I did sense the anxiety in the person who’s just lost the measure of her mind.
It’s pretty good, love the image.
