True Feelings~

You dipped your toes in the darkness

As though to test if it was cold

And i knew right when you shivered

You were more scared than you had told

I wrote my words into a life ring

Something to keep your world afloat

But against the strength of your nightmare

They wore a soggy paper boat

I don't know what the blackness told you,

What wondrous things it planned to give

But i watched as the light left your eyes

And with your will to leave

I screamed your name to pierce the silence

But you were to long gone to hear

Caught somewhere between noticed

And wanting to disappear

you once said you were scared of the darkness

And that you'd never learned to swim

But with it's promises pumped though your veins

You held your breath and jumped right in.~

One of my favorites I've read here so far! Fantastic imagery and very relatable. Keep writing!

I get a deep rooted felling when i read this poem . it truly is one of your best. A lot of the time writers feel when they write a poem that contains as much depth as yours they need to use advanced vocabulary to vividly get their point across. Your poetry is really good because you break out of that bubble!!!!! You use vocabulary anyone can understand and connect to . You brilliantly do this ......
Much love and happiness and warm purple light 💜

I felt this word for word. For being someone that can't swim, I surely want to take a jump in the sea now. Great poem.

When I started reading I just couldn't believe how it made me feel I mean it was very good
