Standing Deep Poem by Amanda Strickland

Standing deep
Through chilled winds
And blistering water
I stand deep, deep in sorrow
Deep in miss that's getting hotter
im falling up not falling down
falling floating sinking
deeper into life
i hurt i cry i reach out fr weaking
Dont you understand me?
How i express myself
through confusion see
every heart, every soul
that i know and see
i get no compassion concers or whole-
hearted care from anyone
ony he will ever know
how im feeling and how i live
through sun and rain and hail and snow
hes always been there
he always will be
i know his heart
and he knows mine
together we're standing deep deep in love and in hope
i need him here to understand
That hes my rope
keeping me here
