Drowning

I’m drowning in this deep dark sea

That no one can see but me

I can’t escape this tragedy

Of this weight i must break free

 

They grab and claw and drag me down

They mutter, disapprove, and frown

My screams don’t seem to make a sound

Seems I’m the crazy in this town

 

Burdened by invisible weight

Is this forever to be my fate

The stares, the ridicule, the hate

The demons I can’t seem to sate

 

People walk by without a word

I’m a wreck, they say its absurd

Were my syllables slurred?

I’m dying inside, my pleas unheard.
