Do you know what it feels like to be all alone screaming your loudest but not being heard? You're drowning in this ocean with boats all around no one seems to help they're just watching you drown. Do you know what it feels like to be all alone facing a terror you're forced to call home? The water fills your lungs and you can hardly breathe gasping for your last breath you feel almost relieved. Do you know what it feels like to be all alone letting the darkness win and entering the unknown? The ocean has swallowed you and you cannot swim but that doesn't matter because you let it win.

The Ocean
Do you know what it feels like to be all alone screaming your loudest but not being heard? You're drowning in this ocean with boats all around no one seems to help they're just watching you drown. Do you know what it feels like to be all alone facing a terror you're forced to call home? The water fills your lungs and you can hardly breathe gasping for your last breath you feel almost relieved. Do you know what it feels like to be all alone letting the darkness win and entering the unknown? The ocean has swallowed you and you cannot swim but that doesn't matter because you let it win.
A poem I wrote a little over a year ago. I wrote this on the back of a bathroom stall during one of my dark times in life but I made it. I learned to swim.
