Drowning
In a room full of people,
I feel all alone.
A sea full of bodies,
Yet I am drowning in my mind.
I am surrounded by “friends”
but somehow always left behind.
Maybe I was destined to be thrown overboard.
I see the ship's crew, and they are watching me.
I am left sinking into the dark sea.
Deserted, I remain.
My dependency is washing away.
I do not sit around waiting for someone to wipe away my tears.
I do not need anyone to help me conquer my fears.
I am all alone.
Wild and free.
For once in my life no one is around to hurt me.
I spoke too soon.
I am my worst enemy.
I never taught myself how to swim.
I cannot tred the sea full of my own destructive thoughts.
These powerful waves are overtaking me.
I am screaming on the inside,
but silent on the outside.
I whisper quietly
but I would rather shout.
I do not want to be a helpless victim the world needs to save.
So I stay sunken at the bottom of the dead sea.
