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.
