Drown

 

I have to learn to self-soothe;

To ease the pain I feel inside.

I need to start keeping my thoughts to myself;

To not bother others with

What seem to be “petty” problems.

But they’re not petty to me!

And I’m not yet strong enough

To deal with things on my own.

So what do I do?

Who do I turn to?

What am I supposed to do

If no one will listen?

What do I do

If no one will care?

I know that crying doesn’t solve anything,

But what else am I to do

When I feel so lost and alone?

What else am I to do

When it seems that

The only person who will care for me

Is me?

What am I to do

But drown in my tears?

Such a dark sadness here... drifting on a sea of tears... Oh, please keep swimming until you can see all those who love you waiting to pull you to safety... xx
