Emotions

Emotion runs deep
Plunging into the ocean
Almost drowning to wake up
and become blinded to today's
reality
That things are a lot harder than it initially seemed
How could the situation of my dreams
turn into a nightmare
As I sit and stare at this same wall
Wondering How did I fall from grace
Looked in the mirror and realized who
i really needed to face
I had to give myself a taste of my own medicine
Realizing how I have to be just as consistent as I want
others to be
How else can I be who I say I be
A heavy burden to carry
