Give me poetry when I start to drown
Into the abyss of my internal distress
Wrap me in words when rain soaks my
Humor until there is none left
Poetry!
My longing, my heartache, my desire
My loss
Be my water
Cleanse me from head to toe
I need you
Tag despair
Sinking Sand
I’m drowning in a pool of my own despair, the anchor has taken hold of my soul and I cannot breath I see the light above I know there is hope as I give way to a pit of dark sinking sand.
Dark Despair
In deep despair
I hold myself
In blackened day
I cry to you
You do not hear
You do not care
And silently
I bear my pain
Despair
I’m drowning
I try and reach for air
I’m sinking
I call but you are nowhere
I’m dying
I pray for you to be there –
There where my prayers
Fly to, and there where
My hope leads me to.
My sinking heart
Leads me to
Despair.
