Drowning

A Poem by Em Mae

I feel like I am drowning,

Falling deeper and deeper into the ocean

I get angry because no one is reaching out,

Trying to reach out for anything.

I meet people who are just drift wood,

Keeping me afloat for only so long.

I need to find my rock, my land,

Anything to save me from drifting farther away.

The waves are getting rougher as the days go on,

They get stronger and higher.

I am getting lost, scared, angry,

I feel the under tow pulling me down into the depths.

I am lost… I don’t think anyone can save me anymore.
