Drowning

Azura Nightsong

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.

    Very well done. Your message is clear and well written. Sorry you are hurting and can't find solace. Writing helps. Sometimes doing something kind for someone else helps.

      Writing this did help calm me down a bit. It often does.
