Drowning

Drowning- Sitting there nice and still slowly sinking you smile as the strangers smile back confused and unaware you were just drowning in your tears one by one the words rip through your skin tearing you apart limb by limb you try to stay up but the weights keep you down your slowly drowning and nobody can help you now, people think that the scars on your wrist has no meaning but to you it means help, help us escape this water before you go overboard and drown... drown form the blood and tears, drown form the pain inside but nobody notices a thing maybe that's how it's supposed to be, maybe I am supposed to be drowning maybe I should just let go and sink. And nobody would notice a thing.

WOW, Emily, I like this very much... Somehow, I feel we are drowning. I'd like to invite you on over to my newest poem. FROZEN NOOSE. You might find a small connection. Love this poem. I rate your poem with a 7. Sending hugs. LINDA

someone always notices....its just hard to see where the focus is....the shame is that so many want to see us down....that's why God Is The Only Way to not drown....;)
