Drowning Poem by Sam Clary

Drowning

I feel so still
In a sea of people moving
No matter how hard I try
I try to move
To save myself
But I'm drowning
I'm pulled under the current
Of my own violent emotions
I drown
I drown in a sea
A sea of people who can't see
My vast sea
yet somehow shallow
Made of my own emotion
Help me I'm drowning
Being pulled into the undertow
I can't get back to the surface
No matter how hard I kick
And scream
I can't even see now
It's a sea of blackness
It's choking me
How? !
It's seeping in like a dark poison
Staining my psyche
And burning my insides with acid
I'm running out of air now
and my lungs beg me to part my lips
Somebody, please save me
Aren't I worth it? !
The undertow has taken me down now
I have no hope of saving myself
Save me! !
Hear ME
Listen!
Listen, to my silent plea
I'm screaming
But words won't come out
And the tears won't fall down
I'm drowning in an ocean
Of unshed tears
They've wrapped around me
Emotions tangled like seaweed
I can't BREATHE! ! !
Somebody save me please!
I can't even save myself!
The current is too strong
And I've been struggling to stay afloat for far too long
I need help
Or else
I
will
DROWN
