I don't know why, I don't know how this has happened, but no matter how hard I've tried I just... can't. It is frustrating beyond explanation.
So, in the below poem, I attempted to express this feeling. However, what came out of it is something much different. Though my aim was different, I still think that the results are reflective of my thoughts on life sometimes.
Drowning In
Tears
A cry out
for air,
yet, as I
cannot breathe,
no one can
hear me.
I float on
my back,
waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.
For someone,
anyone,
to respond.
My own eyes
have betrayed me,
dammed and
damned,
mocking me
as life leaves me
to the
fishes.
As they eat
my face,
feasting on
my sorrow,
I thank God
that in my last moments
I was worth
something to this world.
That I had a
purpose,
if only for
a moment.
