Sinking.

by Daphne Darling   Jun 16, 2004


Slowly I am sinking,
Deeper into this darkness,
My heart is pounding,
It is telling me,
To turn BACK,
To RUN,
To HIDE,
I cannot go anywhere,
My feet won’t move,
As if they are suck,
Rooted to the ground,
I want to run,
And I want to hide,
I cannot find the strength,
The strength to fight it,
No not any more,
It is all flowing out off me,
Like the blood soon will,
I am trying to hide it,
And unfortunately I am succeeding,
CAN NO ONE SEE THIS PAIN?
CAN NO ONE HELP ME?
Sinking deeper,
Slowly sinking away from this earth,
The strength is ebbing away,
Just like my blood shall surly do soon,
I SCREAM for help,
But yet none comes,
HELP ME WHY DONT YOU,
Don’t just stand by as I bleed away,
Stop me sinking,
BRING ME BACK UP,
Help me stand straight,
Put a stopper on my blood flow,
Let your strength flow through me,
I don’t want to do this,
But it’s all flowing away from me,
I cannot help it,
My strength is just flowing away,
Way to fast for me,
I cannot catch up with it,
Cannot anyone see this pain?
Cannot anyone see this hurt?
Cannot anyone save me from this?
Watch me as I slip away,
Watch me as I all slips down the drain
Watch me as I,
Sink under all this pain,
Watch it all go to wast,
Watch me as I am,

    Well, I'm not gonna preach to you like that girl up there did! But I am going to tell you that you have one hell of a talent! All your emotions and all your feelings show immensely through your work. I do hope that you get through this that your going through. It's a horrible thing being depressed. I speak from experience. I hope you find your way! :(

    Love,

    GREAT.... i hate to say that about a depressing poem, no one should be that depressed... its not good.... but you put intense emotion into this poem.... maybe i like it so much cuz i can relate.... but yeah, you have talent... thanx for reading a couple of my poems... im going to read more of yours if you have some, and if its nto too much to ask i'd love it if you could read some of mine... there's alot of them, but if you can read one or two now and then that'd make my day....
