Here I Am

Here I am

Here I am dressed in dark

Waiting for the light

Unwilling to find it

Here I am without a voice

Waiting to talk

Unwilling to

Here I am screaming on the inside

Waiting for someone to hear

Unwilling to speak

Here I am drowning

Waiting for someone to save me

Unwilling to swim

Here I am in loneliness

Waiting for  someone 

Unwilling to see them

Here I am a little girl

Waiting to grow up

Unwilling to let go

Here I am independent

Waiting to rely

Unwilling to trust

Here I am sad

Waiting for happiness

Unwilling to notice

Here I am

Waiting

Unwilling

The simplicity of this is amazing because it packs a deep punch in such a "small fist" of space.
"Brilliant" was my first reaction...and so I stash it.
Thanks for sharing this 100/100 piece.

Wow. You know what? That poem sounds like the same exact spot I sit at in life. It really does.

Hey life can't be all that bad. After all, you got me here :)

I love the short lines, if you get bored I always have short lines in my poetry. Although you are an awesome writer, is that your best feature? Got that hint of mystery, and that's downright enjoyable. Lovely write, mon ami. Great work :)
