silent world

Sometimes we lose sight of who we are when the world moves too fast and everything around us seems too far to reach... and we just can't seem to catch up...

The wind blows against my cheeks, 

Gentle, unsure,

My only companion;

I watch the blur of colours around me

Moving too fast

For me to catch up;

I hear the chatter of others

Muffled by the water

Around me, all around me...

I reach out 

Hands needing to grasp onto something,

Anything.

I'm just above the surface

Of water;

Fighting against the current;

But I'm drowning,

Drowning,

Drowning...

The wind blows against my cheeks,

Gentle, silent,

My only saviour.

Thank you for writing and posting this amazing poem..
The feeling of drowning could be about anything..asking for help..every day we need something to hold onto something to help you moving forward..to face the world..
