rumors

 
bleak feelings invade
it's a sense of dread in your stomach
from there it spreads

anxiety is there talking rumors
there's smoke no fire
and you can't pinpoint the problem
it's just a sinking feeling
one you just can't seem to shake

then depression begins
you feel bad without reason
or the reason is buried deep
and its not speaking

there are little clues to the malady
but it's not quite clear
it's a dull ache in your chest
a heaviness of being
it hurts to stay silent
but I don't like to complain

gossiping emotions don't take a breath
they're busy spreading lies to why the problem exists
and I hate the feeling of waiting for certain death

lingers the suspicion it's just me
rattled inside myself on a beautiful day
