Drowning
Do you see me?
Can you hear me?
I am right here!
I am screaming and flailing
Fighting not to be consumed by the storm
Barraged by waves of sorrow
Pockets full of fear, heavy as rocks
Slowly sinking below the surface
Cries muffled by claps of thunder
I am begging for help
You didn't see me in time
I am swallowed by a sea of apathy
Enveloped in cold, dark misery
You won't hear me now
Because I won't yell anymore
I am sunken in this trench of despair

Enveloped in cold, dark misery
You won't hear me now
Because I won't yell anymore

The trick is finding that connection, love. Apathy only seeds when we allow ourselves to be alone. Dont let it happen. Trust me, were all twisted :)

It's a very powerful piece, you really conveyed the emotion and feeling when despair take over the soul.
Excellent write. Hope all is well.
