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
