Left To Drown

And here I floated In the middle Of a giant dark lake I smiled Was never better Could always get worse When no one else was there Darkness was Far above I saw them fly How they did it I’ll never know I’ve never grown wings I’ve felt envious before Felt rage Struggled But for all I’ve done This lake is all I have Now I saw them Felt nothing And smiled Accepted that I was left To drown Slowly Steadily Until the image got blurry And I forgot everything As everything has forgotten me
